Transcript
The challenge of the Yukon. It's King, swift, distant, strong, and strong, as lead dog of the North Country, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston, of the North West Motite Police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.
And King, and you, Huskies! 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 battle through storm and snow to preserve law and order as they met the challenge of the Yukon.
The Wonder Dog King was at his master's side when Sargent Preston approached the wooden bridge that spanned the Manalek River. As he saw a friend coming from the opposite direction, King barked in recognition, then turned to the mountain.
His King is so pure, just about to cross the bridge. We'll meet him on this side. I'm there, Pierre. I'm the President of the High. No need to hurry, Pierre. We'll wait for you. Good. Good. Good.
No wait here, Boy and King. Sergeant Preston, I must see you. Here! The bridge! The small Frenchman threw his arms out wildly in a hopeless attempt to save himself, as the supporting timbers buckled and the bridge dropped into the swirling rendering.
King was tense as Pierre disappeared beneath the water. Then he heard Sergeant Preston's voice. After in King, get him out! Michael bullet from a gun the husky shot forward. In one instant he was running, in the next he was in mid-air.
The icy waters set a paralyzing chill through nerves and muscles to the very heart of the great dogs. But King forged ahead, watching the surface of the river where the man had gone down. He saw Pierre's head rise above the water.
