Challenge of the Yukon: King Saves the Day

The challenge of the Yukon! Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, places 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 just as rule triumphant. Sergeant Preston stood talking to Shane O'Neill, a strong cold wind was cutting into the two men, as the untrappers axed bit emphatically into the log he was splitting.

In this frame of mind, Shane, you ought to get a lot of those logs split. Yeah, I see what you mean. You don't know where a man could trap say $5,000 worth of pelts in this country, do you, Sergeant? $5,000. Well, that's a lot of pelts. Yeah. If you set some traps up in the hills, you'd get some good pelts, but I... But, uh...

Not $5,000 worth. Well, probably not. Why? Oh, it's Julie's father. Jim? What he got to do with it? Well, I've already asked Julie to marry me, Well does Jim have something against you? Or is it Julie?

Oh no, Julie'll marry me all right. And her father's for me. But he says I'm not making enough to support her. This last season's been a poor one. He figures that if I had to have $5,000 in the bank, that that'd be enough to tide us over for a couple of seasons like this last time.
