The Challenge of the Yukon. On King! On your HP. The Wonder Dog Kings. Pritterst 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 the small band of northwest mountain police who preserved law and order in the new northwest country, The 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 Rolle triumphant.

The cabin of crazy Pete on Beaver Lake had been deserted since his death when a rumor had started that it was haunted. It was a sad looking place with leaky roof and sagging timbers. The Yukon whims howled through it, and prospectors gave it a wide berth when passing it at night.

Sergeant Preston on his way to Whitehorse after dark was startled therefore when he saw a dim light shining through its single window. He stopped his team and with his lead dog King at his heels, knocked at the door that someone had set straight on his hinges.

Sergeant Preston, North-West Mount of Police. You see, the police? Yes, that's all I'd say who was here. Queen, Queen, Queen! Mind if I bring my dog? No, no, that he's friendly. He looks kind of fierce.

He's very friendly, and as I tell him not to be, aren't you, boy? I'm Eve from Chington. This is my partner. Eve, help him. Howdy. Howdy. Howdy. Sit down, Chigot. Here's a box. We ain't had much time to get settled.

Oh, thanks. It's a bit fine. There, King. Stop beside my boy. We just bought this place yesterday. Work for two days trying to make it together, be it. Even me, here from Kansas. Well, you're a long way from home.
