Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon. On King on New Huskies. The Thunderdog Kings, with the 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. It was a pleasant spring

morning as you boys walked along the main street of 40 Mile, accompanied by a frolic some dog of doubtful pedigree. The dog, however, was the only one whose disposition matched the weather as the boys were decided of belligerent.

I don't care if you're out in the city. That doesn't mean you know everything. I certainly know more about thoroughbred dogs than you do. These things they have up here in the Yukon are all mongrels.

Some of them are half-walled. What if they are? They're better dogs than those sissy things they have in the city. They wouldn't stand a chance in a dog show. Who cares about an old dog show?

Happy being salted if I even took them near one. That old curt, or they wouldn't let him near the door. Happy's not a curt, he's a good brave dog. And he could look ten- Huh, that mangy mongrel.

Watch him run. Don't you fool that rockin'! Why, you all! Sure, you whether you'll hit my dog or not! You hit me! Don't you! Don't you! I'll try! You know, wait a minute! You'll be sorry!
