Transcript

The Challenge of the King! King of the King! The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest at 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, 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 point of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog King met that challenge and justice ruled triumphant. A heavy snowfall had started with the early darkness of winter in the Yukon.

Sergeant Preston, mushing along the trail to Dawson City, called at his team when he saw cabin back among the trees. Hooking! Hooking! Along, King. We can get a bird here for night. Now, hey, boy.

When they watch dogs. The mountain near the cabin, a huge grey dog raised from behind it and sprang straight for the mountain's crew. King sprang at the same moment, the two dogs met in midair and rolled in a smiling heap at Preston's feet.

Break your chin again. Black eyeshade. Grab your dog, bigy-room. I got him. Back, back, back, I swear. Take your dog into the cabin like a dishman cheats. Coming off, though. Inside, boy. There. Now, let's have a look at him.

Oh, sliced a little. Your ears bleeding. Nothing bad, though. Let color help. Go to old fella. Lucky me, you were beside me. Hey, I'm sure you're about to use me. Oh, you're about here. Didn't have time to notice out there.

I'm Bill Preston. You and Sergeant Preston have heard about you. I'm Jim Peating. How are you? I'm sure you're relieved to have you shake hands. Well, we spent one piece of friendly after the welcome you got from Louisville.
