Transcript

The Challenge of the Yukon! Dogg 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-notted police, who preserved low-end order in a 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. Sergeant Preston plotted wirly beside his sled. His team was exhausted, and strained to keep up with King, the huge Husky lead dog, who seemed the only one with enough strength and deserve to carry on.

They pulled up in front of Jacques LeBlanc's trading post. The dog team laid down in their traces, too tired to move. King followed his master into the store. You're on this post? We! I'm Shaka Bloc. This is my post.

I'm Sergeant Preston at the Northwest Mounted. Glad to see you, Sergeant. I have here about you. But you never come up here before. This is the first time I've had to come up here. It's a little outside my usual territory.

I'm trailing a criminal. See, Count's, Sergeant. You look so tagged. Let me get you some hot tea. Thanks, Chuck. There isn't time. All I want some information. Have you seen anything of a half breed?

He's big, it's like an Indian, talks good English, a stranger around here. The description fits so many. I could tell you 10, 15 like that to bring first to trade. This man's name is Pedro Duchay.

They call him Indian Pete. I do not know that name. I've been trailing him for two months, almost caught him at Circle City, and abandoned his dog team. He knows I'm following him and his trail leads here.
