Transcript

The Challenge of the Yukon. And King! And you're asking! The Wonder Dog King, swift, distant, strongest of Eskimo lead 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-mounted police 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, such impreston and his wonder dog king met that challenge, and justice ruled triumphant.

But Crete and Ben Green stood together at the bar in the gold nugget. As the bartender gave them their change, he indicated a small box that stood nearby. There's a good place for your change boys instead of putting it back in your pocket.

What are you talking about, buddy? That box. It's a collection. They're trying to take up for a schoolhouse and books. It seems the kids in town ain't got no place to get educated. And I ain't got no kids. So my change goes right in my pocket where it belongs.

Yes, that's just about the way everybody feels. And it just ain't no civic spirit. This box is empty. Be back with you in a minute, boys. The reason I wanted to meet you here, Ben, is to tell you that Al Bixby isn't Al.

He bring the dog with him? You don't think he's planning to fight my dog himself? Well, I just didn't know what was playing. I pass the word around quietly. The moneys get wind of it, they'll stop it.

Where's Al's stand? At the Northern Hotel. I mind my way up to see him. I'll spread the word about the fight. Talk up that dog, his. Tell him he's a killer. Try to get Beth's two to one against my dog.
