Challenge of the Yukon: Bear Trap

The Challenge of the Yukon! And King! And you have to! And a Dog King, Swiftest and Strongest and 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, where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence, 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. The headquarters of the Northwest Mountain Police, Inspector Grayson looked approvingly at the two officers reporting to him.

Corporal Nelson, either you or Sergeant Preston alone could tap your tiggle. But we're sure that he's headed back to his Eskimo tribe in the Arctic. That particular tribe is a bad one. In fact, they're the only ones who have given us any trouble.

They're up near the Talamik person, aren't they? Yes, they're the ones. Tag, who is a half-breed? But he was raised with him. He's cunning and ruthless. This last murder was the boldest of them all.

Well, I've always wanted to go up to the arctic. I'm glad you're giving me this chance, Inspector. Well, Corporal, Sergeant Preston will tell you it's no pleasure, John. He's done it before. That's one reason I want him to go with you.

Inspector, do you think Tagos people might try to protect him? They may. We have no way of telling. Most of the Eskimos respect the police. But to keep that respect, we just show them that even the Arctic is no refuge after they've committed murder.
