The Challenge of the King of the King of the King of the King! The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Eskimo lead dog, blazes the trail through a storm and snow for Sergeant Preston, as he meets the Challenge of the Yukon.

Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest-Mouted Police, who preserved law and order in the new Northwest country, 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.

Inspector Grayson of the Northwest Mounted Police, the tall young Sergeant, who stood before him. Near the door lay a big gray dog with his nose on his front paws, but his eyes watching every move of his master. Sergeant Preston listened carefully to the Inspector. I know the territory around Stuart's crossing isn't too many to you. You have been over it haven't you? Yes

I have always stuck to the trail. You haven't been through the mountain. Why in North Sir I was always on the way to Dawson City. I'll see that you pick up an Eskimo guide at Selker.

You can make him a spare constable for this assignment. I'll send a telegram at once. Thank I'm sending you on this case, Sergeant, because of your record and experience. These men have a hideout somewhere on the mountain.

Your dog, King, may be a help in finding it. These men are ruthless. They kill as well as raw. And as you know, the last smile he sent up in that region has never been heard from.
