Transcript

It's King, swiftest and strongest lead dog of the North Country, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police and his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. King, King, and you, Huskies! Gold, gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to 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 battled through storm and snow to preserve law and order as they met the challenge of the Yukon. Zeke Taylor was in his late fifties, but like thousands of others had come to the Klondike to seek his fortune. He had filed a claim on Wolf Creek in rather an isolated

section. It wasn't a rich claim, and Zeke had to work hard for the little gold he took out of it. Two other prospectors lived near him, and one day when he and Zeke Rath, his neighbor were taking a shortcut to their cabins from the trail to Dawson they learned about another we should save about two or three miles this way Jay sure is shorter than the trail we've been you

hope we don't get lost someone's been gone this way baby Bill Kramer found this shortcut before we did uh you know what it's all about it you take the same trail we've been taken and no there's a little traveler over there behind them trees you see it they smoke coming out of the chimney

I got it. You're right. I didn't know there was another living soul within miles of here besides you and Bill Kramer. Let's go and see who lives there. He sure is far away from everything.
