The challenge of the Yukon! The challenge of the Yukon! The Yukon! It's King, swiftest and strong as the dog of the North Country, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston, of the North West's modern police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers!

And King! And King! And King! Gold! Gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Clumb Ike in the greedy race for riches.
