Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon. Honking! Hon-yoh-husky! The Wonder Dog Kings, with to some 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 Mony Police, who preserved low and order in the new Northwest country, where the greed for wealth and power led to frequent violence in bloodshed, but in spite of the odds against them, Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog King met that challenge, and justice ruled triumphant.

The Northern Lightscafe was the rendezvous for rich and poor alike in Dawson City. It was late afternoon and the tables were filling up, and people were crowding around the bar when there was a sudden commotion at one end of it.

Hey, you've quit shoving me. You can wait to turn. I didn't shove you, Pargare. You're just a little unsteady on your feet. That's all. So I'm drunk, eh? Well, you shut me and don't say you didn't.

And I ain't drunk. Well, if I shut up, didn't you? Ain't drunk. Are you sure there's something wrong with my eyes, right? No. That's not you. You ain't making a liar out of me. Back where I come from, this is the answer to that.

Ow. My head. Where did your car come from? What was that table? Oh, this move, Jim. Somebody sure saved your life. That was close. Yeah, I'll say it was close. Who did it? I did it, mister.

I did it, mister. There. Oh, go on the shortcut gun. He must come from that table. Can you beat that? Think you're pretty smart, don't you, sister? Well, you can just buy me a new gun.
