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 Motted Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Unkate! Un-you huskies!
Gold. Gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the greedy race fortresses. 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.
A large crowd had collected at the dock to greet the last boat of the season, landing at Dawson City on the Yukon River. Cheers cut through the clear air as the Bonanza Bell steamed into port.
Among the crowd was Sergeant Preston of the North West Motted Police, who was there to check the names of newcomers into the North Country. Beside the sergeants to the big grey dog who never left his master.
As the boat docked and prepared to unload its passengers and freight, a small man whose head barely reached the mauve's shoulder came toward him. A small man smelled strongly of fish and was therefore known as fishy-fretty.
Hello there, Sergeant Chris-in! Oh, hello, Freddy! You look all excited about something. You meeting someone on the boat? Nope, not someone! So I am meeting something that's more important to me than any person! Huh? What's that?
I've been saving every penny I made getting fished by a bianna. It's on the banana bell right now. A piano? Well, why in the world would you want a piano? Oh, I know. It does strike people funny.
Fishy Freddy playing a bianna, but... Well, it's the only pleasure I got in the world. I'm very good on looking at it. You know, I'm very smart at puppyly. But I can't forget all that if I can play the bianna.
