The Challenge of the Yukon! On King! On you Huskies! The Wonder Dog King, Swettison Strongest of Eskimole Dogs, blazed 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 Mony Police, who preserved law and order in the new Northwest Country, where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence in bloodshed. But in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog King met that challenge, and justice rule triumpent.

The gold star bar was the gayest spot in Whitehorse. At a corner table in the smoke-filled noisy room, a bearded man looked up as Molly, one of the cafés in a tainer, slipped into a chair beside him.

Hey! How did you get here? Quiet. That's allowed. I escaped. Been on my way up here for weeks. So I'd find you here. Are they... are they after you? What do you think? But that big prison, I don't see how you got out.

Two of us made the break. They got Pierce. I got away. But what are you gonna do? I'm heading north tomorrow. You're coming with me. You got money, ain't you? Yes, son. But where can we go?

We'll go to Selkirk, then head west and get across the border into Alaska. You got enough money to buy a dog team? No, no, not that much. Anyway, we couldn't buy one here, people at home.

I guess you're right. We'll have to carry packs. Think you're strong enough? Oh, I've waited over a year for you. I thought I'd have to wait till I'll make a piece, somehow. Nobody knows we're married, so the law will be watching you. Can I hide out in your room tonight?
