Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon. On King! On your Huskies! A wonder dog, King, switchers and strongest of Eskimo League dogs, blazes 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 Monipolis, who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country, where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence and bloodshed. in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog King met that challenge, and Justice ruled triumphant.

Near a small cabin, about five miles outside of the town of Selkirk, two men were busy with picking shovel, digging a grave. Gosh, take it this deep enough. No, we better dig deeper. I don't know why we here to get stuck with this job.

Wish Charlie would have died in summer. Well, it made enough off in plain poker to make up for doing this. I can't see why he stayed out here. Just about leading up off this claim to keep him and his wife.

They both liked it here. And Charlie was always sure he'd strike a big vein of gold around this place. Yeah. Nothing like hope, but... Hey Jake, look at this piece of ground that just dug up.

Where? What do you mean? This one, look at this. Mac, that looks like pain hurt. Looks like it is. There's a rich vein of gold running right through this grave. I think poor Charlie had to die to find it.

He didn't find it. We did. But Mac, it's his land and a block to Sarah now. It will if her fool's enough to tell her about it. What do you mean? We ain't saying nothing about this.
