Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon. It's King, swift distance, strongest lead dog of the North Country, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West Motdot Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Unkink, un-yous-ki!

All discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the greedy race forages. 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.

Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mother Police walked back to the cabin with young Phil Williams after the funeral of Phil's father. The cabin seemed lonely and deserted and was filled with a stale tobacco smoke of the prospectors who had helped Phil with the final rights of the funeral.

The sergeant's big lead dog was at his side and wind as they entered the room that still retained the scent of death. Why don't King? I don't blame him for whining. This cabin is a gloomiest place in the world.

Now sit down Sergeant. Alright Phil. I can't stay very long. Just wondered if it made any plans about your future. Thought maybe I could help you. Yes I have Sergeant. I'm leaving Dawson. Dad's claim isn't any good.

He hadn't been sick. I had left long ago selling the cabin and going up the Clandak River with Steve Randall. Steve Randall? But Phil, Steve's bad medicine. I'd made you decide to do that. Oh, Steve's all right.

Now and then he gets into a little trouble, but just because he has a lot of energy and a quick temper, we get a long fine. I had an idea that I thought might interest you, but maybe it won't.
