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 Northwest mounted police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. One king! One, you have to!

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 King battled through storm and snow to preserve law and order as they met the challenge of the Yukon. Jim Ellis, an old prospector, lived about four miles

outside of Star City in a small cabin. It was early morning and Jim was having his breakfast. A small mongrel dog sat beside his chair looking at him expectantly. I already gave you a breakfast snapper.

I guess it's just the idea if you want to share mine, is that it? All right, here's a piece of bread. Well, I guess I ought to set up another chair at the table every morning and have breakfast with you.

Well, you sure good company old girl. Don't you? Quiet snapper. Why a snapper? It's like Sergeant Preston. Hello, Sergeant. Say it's Snapper. Please, sure, Sergeant. Come on. Sure, bring him in.

Oh, boy. Snapper won't fight with him. He's always glad to see King. I'm just coming back from the toll north, Jim. Wouldn't quite make time last night. We'll take off your parking, sit down. He's already.

Right. I'm glad you stopped by. I was making a color for Snapper, and I thought, well, I was headed. I'd make one for King too. I got it over there in the cupboard. Well, that was nice of you, Jim.
