Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon. On King! On you Husky! The Wonder Dog King, swiftest 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 a small band of Northwest Monet Police, who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country, where 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 ruled triumphant.

When the Arctic Night grew shorter and the sun appeared again, a deep melancholy spread over the spirit of the Eskimos and their village on the Kinsey Bay. Everyone dreaded the power of Uluk, the Eskimo wife of Durlak, the half-breed. Since she had come at the beginning of the long season, the entire village was under her power and had to keep her appeased. For

it was well known and had been proven that Ulak had only the castor shadow on man or beast and he died. Arrak, the best young hunter in the village, saw her squat waddily figure coming toward them as he walked toward his igloo with his brother.

He to the left, Yurak, there is Ulak. See, that you do not pass to her shadow. We have nothing to fear, Arrak. We have put our best furves at her door, as we did last year.

Here's Ibokimah, this best to be careful. Times like it run my harpoon through her ugly body. Cause of her that you cannot marry Ebnek. Ebnek would go away with me, but she fears for her father's life.
