Transcript

The Challenge of the Yukon! Unking! Unu-haskins! The Wonder Dog King, swift distance, strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, blazed 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-mounted police, who preserved law and order in a new Northwest country, with a 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 early spring in the Yukon. The snow covered the ground, but the mountains here and there were showing a touch of green. A PR Devale's trading post, some trappers were holding a meeting. Three times now I come home almost empty-handed.

All but two of my traps robbed. It must be your dog, Pierre. Them tracks are his size. Pete, why after so many years should Boona start robbing traps? He is only dog-loose-pear when it happened.

My traps empty same as Pete's. Something is stealing. I'd like to Boona up, but somehow he gets loose. He's the robber, alright? You can't miss them tracks. Boona, he's the pet, the best lead dog I ever have.

Hard luck, Pete. There, but first of all, we live. You're gonna have to shoot him. Well, that's that. Let's go, boys. Wait. What is coming? Oh, Sergeant Preston! Hello, Sergeant! Hello, dear! Hello, Sergeant! Hello, Sergeant! See you later, Pierre.

Too sure, sir. Well, he's one time since I see you. You were coming in. Just a minute. I want to look at the leg of one of my dogs. He seems to have gone lame.
