Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon. The Wonder Dog King swift distance 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 Notted Police who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country

with a greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. But in spite of the arts against them, Sergeant Preston and his Wonder Dog King met that challenge, and Justice ruled triumphant. The snow had a thin crust of ice on it, creating a glare that caused the man holding a rifle to squint.

As Sergeant Preston, the red-coated knotted policeman, came into his sights. Take a look out there, ass. Yeah, what is it? It was we thought, huh? I'll drop him in his tracks, boy. No, no, no, no.

Wait a minute. What do you mean, wait a minute? He's heading for the cabin, ain't he? Yeah, but why wait till he gets to the cabin? I had an idea that snowfall would throw him off our trail.

Nothing but a boat will ever throw Preston off any trail. You know that, boss. Come on, let me throw down that. All right, said. If we kill him, Marty, the whole force will be after us.

You've been cutting that Marty out for the past two weeks. Now that you've got a chance to blow his brains out, you're throwing it away. We're going to wait. We know he's here, but he don't know we are.

Yet, wait and let him do the worry. That's Mowdy don't know it, but no matter what he does he can't win. Get ready to travel. Meantime, Sergeant Prusten entered McGregor's cabin, unaware at the moment that his movements were being closely watched.
