Transcript

The Challenge of the Yukon! A 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 a small band of Northwest-mounted 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 odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog king met that challenge and justice ruled triumphant. When Sergeant Preston arrived in a small community, he usually called on two or three friends to hear the latest local news.

In Horse River he stopped to speak to the Constable, Blake Avery. Blake, were you sure about Jim Bixby? Sure as I'm sitting here, Sergeant Preston. He's been trapping up in the thief cannon section since the freeze up.

Yeah, now he's on his way here. An Indian came by with a news a couple of days ago. You said he'd had a good winter? According to the Indian, he's got an imminent save, well enough to fix him for life.

Life I don't like it. Huh? That Indian may have told others about Bixby. There are fur thieves operating around here. Sergeant, do you think Jim's in danger? I think he is. Two trappers have been killed this spring.

You said so. Near here? Not far from here. What clues I've been able to find indicated the thieves headed this way. A dog gone. Have you noticed any strangers in town? Well, known in particular, there's always a few men coming and going.

There's a generally known that Bixby's on his way here with a valuable load of pelts. I guess it is. There's been no secret about it. And Bixby's probably traveling along. Er, Er, I reckon so.
