Transcript

The challenge of the Ocon King. The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Eskimo leave dogs blazed the trail through storm and snow for Sergeant Preston as he meets the challenge of the Ocon. Sergeant Preston was typical of the small band of Northwest Monty Police who preserved low 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. Charlie Reicher and his son Billy lived on the outskirts of Selkirk in the Yukon country.

Billy's mother had died the year before, and Billy, though only thirteen, had matured rapidly in an effort to be a companion to his father. They had set traps along the creek near their cabin, and on a winter morning, as the pale sun filtered through the clouds, they were inspecting their traps.

Oh, we have better luck this time. I can't figure why we haven't done better this winter. I still think somebody's been fooling with our traps, Dad. Pierre Lagarde has had the same trouble we have, and his traps are set near ours.

And if someone is robbing our traps, he might eat clever at it. Listen, that's not like a dog. Either someone is beating it or it's caught in a trap. Now come on, but be quiet.

I hate you! I mean you cry! I hate you! Now you're right! Hey you! Let's beating that dog! What's that, Lo? Oh, what's the idea of it? Look, Howard! Look at him, Ron! I guess he was afraid you'd give him some of his own medicine.
