Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon! It came swiftest and strongest lead dog of the North Country, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West mounted police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Gold! Gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede of the Klondike in the greedy race for riches.

Now back to the days of the Gold Rush when Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog King battle through storm and snow to preserve law and order as they met the challenge of the Yukon. Long ice-blecked wind whistled in the darkness around the cabin near the outskirts of Dawson.

Its fury seemed to enhance the cozy comfort of a blazing log fire that beat back the cold and threw a rosy light on Pat Daily and Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police sitting before it.

At the Mounties' feet lay a huge silver-gray dog. Pat stretched comfortably and smiled at Sergeant Preston. It's sure nice to have you here with me, Preston. These winter nights get lonely. I couldn't think of a better place to recuperate that.

You're good company, as well as being the finest cook I know. I wish they'd always give you a short rest between cases like this. Oh. I'd like to have you come the after. Well, I'd like the rest too, but if I had to be shot to get it, rather a high price to play.

And now you're going to tell me how you got that bullet in you. You promised the whole story as soon as supper was over. Sure, Pat. It was one of the weirdest cases I've ever had.

Inspector told me the facts before I started after the criminals. All Ben Weeks had a gold claim on the Klondike River about 40 miles from Dawson. It was a rich claim and Ben was a hard worker.
