Transcript

The Challenge of the Yukon. On King Onyorsky. The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, glazes 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 Mounted 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.

It was mid-December in the town of Selkirk. As young Ned Sealy walk on the main street with some pelts thrown over his shoulder, You heard the loud crack of a whip and the elp of dogs.

As Pete Harvey, boy about his own age, stood beside his dog team, beating them, mercilessly. Ned hurried to him. Get away from me, you lazy piece! Hey Pete, quit with the nose dogs! Don't you see your runners are frozen to the trail?

You get back in my own business. These are my dogs. Good hit nose dogs, I sin. Commonly near and I'll give you a swag with it. Hey, give me that boy. Let's go that way.

Get away from me there. Oh, hit me, will ya? Oh, sure you're gonna drag him up. Oh, stop it. Get back here. He's not gonna put in my business with my dogs if I want.

You raise that whip again? I'll give you another black guy. You better be careful. I'll tell my dad not to buy any more. You're all fur. Why were you hipping your dogs, Pete? None of your biz. For the runners of his sledder frozen at the tree.
