Transcript

A challenge of the Yukon! One king! One new husky! Wonderdog King, swiftness and strong as to Veskimalee 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 Monique Police, who preserved low 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.

Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Monad Police was making his usual patrol from Dawson to Selkirk. With him was Andy Carruthers, a trapper who lived between the two towns. King Preston's big, huge, pesky lead dog was breaking the trail ahead when suddenly a grey sheep appeared.

First in, look up ahead. Oh! Oh! Oh. Oh, king! Oh, here, king. Andy, come in, right here! You got him! Oh, down, king! Say right here, boy, and don't move. That's the first time every sergeant of a wolf tried to attack a dog, king.

Wouldn't unless something were wrong with it, Andy. Let's have a look. That wolf would have attacked king if he hadn't called him back. Something funny about that? Should have run away. It sounded like game.

Gee, what a big fella. Careful Andy, don't touch his head or mouth. What do you think was wrong with him? You see that thick saliva coming out of its mouth? Yeah. This wolf has rabies, and an advanced stage, and it would attack anything it saw.

Gosh! It was lucky you shot it before it got to king. Travel is, it may have infected other animals in its territory. Yeah. There's an Indian village near here, isn't there? Well, it's one about five miles west of here.
