Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon! Unking! Un-U-H-H! The 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-Nodded Felice, who preserved law and order in the new Northwest Country, with agreed 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.

A part of winter in the Yukon. Food was getting scarce and starving wolf packs could be heard howling in the wilderness. Sergeant Preston and Jean DeBau were hunting care about to replenish their meat supply.

The early darkness was approaching when Jean called to the mountain. Look Sergeant, over here! Funny tracks! Something has been wounded! They look like dog or wolf tracks. Let's follow them, Gene. They're quite fresh. Agedy wolves have not found it.

These tracks, they look like animal is weak. Almost at the staggering stage. Careful. Must be under those spruces. Wolf! Hello, Wolf. This part dog. Hello, boy. Ah, he is more wolf than dog than way she acts.

He's been shot in a leg, poor fella. It's weak from loss of blood. Hey, how do you shoot him? Put him out of misery, no? Maybe we can save him, Gene. It's like may not be broken.

Hmm, he'd make a good sled dog here, follow. I mean, now! What life is left in him, he will use to take off your hand. This former master must have been pretty cruel. Scares around his head and shoulders, he's been beaten often.
