Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon. It's king, 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 stop-breakers. Un-kind! Un-ymm-hasty!

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 battled through storm and snow to preserve law and order as they met the challenge of the Yukon.

Two men clotted wierly beside a dog sled loaded with furries. The early Arctic darkness was descending and Bob Andrews looked up at the leaden sky apprehensively. Yeah, looks as if we're going to get more snow built.

Hope we can reach our cast before it breaks. They're almost there. I remember that big pine ahead. Our supplies are buried just as stone's through the other side of it. Oh, gosh, that's a relief.

I'm so tired I could drop in my tracks. The dogs are as tired as we are. It's a heavy load there, dragon. It's a good thing we didn't try to carry all those supplies with us.

We'd have had to leave some of these furs. I expected to make a good haul this time. But it's even more than I counted on. In all the years I've been trapping and I never saw the like of this, we can sit back and take it easy for a while now.

Mary will serve these tickles. Now she can have all the things she wants for our new cabin. Hey, maybe I can have somebody build her a cradle for the baby. You sure brought more than a rabbit skin to wrap the baby bunting in.
