Transcript
A challenge of the Yukon. Unkinton! Un-yoh-ski! The Wonder Dog King, swiftest and strongest of Eskimo lead dogs, places 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, police, who preserved law 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.
There was a look of anticipation on the face of Inspector Grayson of Northwest Mounted Police. He sat at his desk before Sergeant Preston and his big lead dog king, who stood close to his master. The inspector would never have admitted it, but he enjoyed getting the report to his favorite officer. Perhaps it was the way the sergeant told the story
or again it might have been that Sergeant Preston's reports were usually more exciting as his assignments were difficult and dangerous. The inspector smiled as he looked at the younger Mottie. Well sit down Sergeant I'd like to hear about this case from the beginning.
I guess, sir. By donging. Hey, hey, hey, hey. Yes, sir. Well, let's have this story from the very beginning. Huh? The last time I saw Sam Higgins, he was in a gold nugget bar drinking with his friend and neighbor, and Nate Smith.
Nate was younger than Sam. They'd known each other for a long time. One saw me. They called me over to their table. Hey, there, Preston! To Fort Orange Hill, guys. Thanks, Nate. I will. Oh hello Sam.
