Transcript

Challenge of the Yukon! With this and strongest lead dog of the North Country, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West Monmouth Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Un-king! Un-king! Who 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! Three men sat in Sam Botlet's cabin, their feet stretched toward the big iron stove.

Sam was the owner of the Golden Ace Cafe, and his prosperity was reflected in the size and unusual comfort of his home. Jim Taylor, a prospector, and Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police were Sam's visitors.

At the Mounties' feet lay his big lead dog king, listening to the voices of the three men as they lounge comfortably in the warm room. And I'm starting to get the shell cut tomorrow. Who said it was going to snow?

Chief. Chief. Well, sure, you know the one, Sergeant. Big, great Husky. He's half old. Oh, yes. He told you it was going to snow. He sniffs the air in that certain way. I only ate the five.
