Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon. It's King, the richest and strongest lead dog of the North country. Blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston, of the North West, mouth and police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.

Okay, and you have to eat! 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 Fargent Preston and his wonder dog King battled through storm and snow to preserve Lord Order, as they met the challenge of the Yukon.

It was the end of the trapping season, and Pierre LeDoux was busy in his trading post at Daughton. He had just completed a deal with old Tom Andrews. Both men were pleased with their bargain.

Heh, eh, this is the best day of the year you ever have Tom. Yeah? You've had some good ones. You must be getting very rich. Before I wouldn't say, reach Pierre, but I've put a good bit away.

Trouble is, I'm kind of sick of chappin'. I'd like to give it up. Give up? But you're best clapper in territory. You, I know I've done pretty well, but I just don't like it. Why did you start to be truckled in?

Well, I was forced to do it to earn a living. Come up here right at the beginning of the gold rush. I started out in Alaska. I start gold, too, but somebody jumped my claim.

Someone jumped your claim? You did not get it back? No, I wasn't much law on Alaska, and at the time they didn't have the moneys over there the way you do here. Then Gomes found them the Klondike, so I come over here with the rest of them, but I never had much luck.
