The Challenge of the Yukon! And King! And you, Madam, you! 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 Mounted Police, who preserved law and order in the New Northwest country, where the greed 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.

Suzanne Veral was a singer in one of the many cafes in Wickerton, a large settlement that was an oasis of civilization in the lonely ice-bound North country. Men who applauded her would have been surprised, had they seen her talking to Walter Manning, as she stood before her mirror in her dressing room, penning an artificial flower to the material

Oh, that's... Oh, we need just one good kill. Soon as we get that, we'll be on the first steamer for the States. How's Jeff Stevens come along? All right. He follows me around like a puppy.

His brother's got half interest in the claim. Half-insus is better than none. Just remember that. I hear Melora Conklin is trying to steer him away from spending his time in cafes. I should worry about a minister's daughter.
