Transcript
The challenge of the Yukon. The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, blazes the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston, as he meets the challenge of the Yukon. Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest Nauted Police, who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country,
agreed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog king met that challenge and justice ruled triumphant. Sergeant Preston had been traveling north with a man named Conway when a blinding blizzard hit with stunning force driven by a whipping wind.
Preston had made a shelter by breaking through the icy crust of a large drip and scooping out the light snow until it was room enough to accommodate the two men and the lead dog king. It was snug and warm inside the house of snow and both men were soon asleep. King lay for some time with his nose pointing toward the white wilderness
beyond the small entrance. The whole of a wolf was audible above the wind. King whimpered and nuzzled sojourned. What is it King? What's the matter boy? What's the matter Preston? King way too up too, like, on way. Anything wrong? I don't know. King seems to think so. Listen to that, wait a minute.
King heard something out there tonight. I'll stick my head out. No, the snow stopped. Boy, King. I want to listen. What the king? What was that, Preston? That was a wolf and King's going to meet it. Give me that rifle.
You're going out. I'm going with you. Follow me if you want, but before you leave, light that candle and leave it here so we can find our way back. After bolting from the shelter and streaking past the sled dogs, King dashed to the snow toward the prowling lurking creatures that he knew as enemies.
