Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon. 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 the 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. Old man McClenic was happy. You'd never know it to look at him because he never let a smile soften his hard features.

But he'd had a good day, and now he was counting his profits. 80, 90, 95 dollars and coins and twice that much in gold dust. See those leather bags again? Yeah, at least twice that much.

The old man counted the coins over again and lifted the bags of gold just once more. A clinic's son, Bobby, visited himself carrying flour and meat from the storehouse to the store. As he stooped to pick up a bag of flour in the storehouse, he heard his grain sound.

Oh, what's that? There it is again. It's a dog. A husky. What's the matter, boy, huh? What's the matter? Oh, your paw. It's all bloody. Did you get caught in a trap or something? Well, we better do something about that, fella.

You just stay right here. I'll go get some stuff and fix you up right away. Oh, they're nothin' of the kind. Dad. So I didn't hear you come in. I know you didn't. But I knew that you were up to something.
