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 Northwest-Motted Police in his relentless pursuit of Lawbreakers. 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 battled through storm and snow to preserve law and order, as they met the challenge of the Yukon. Sam Thompson and his wife Sarah lived in a small cabin on the Klondike River where Sam had staked to claim. The years in the North Country had not been easy, and the faces of the two

old people looked weather beaten and care worn. But nevertheless Sarah's voice was cheerful, She smiled as Chief, their big white Siberian dog, made himself comfortable at Sam's feet, as he sat before the stove after supper.

For finally, Claire, I never saw a dog more devoted to anybody than Chief is to you, Sam. He sticks to you like a cockaburr to affirm his opinion. Yes, I guess his one thing is faithful to me, as you are, Sarah.

Sam, you ain't hinting that you want to give up the claim, are you? Well, we're not getting much more than a living out of it. Sometimes I wonder if it's worth it. Now, Sam, don't you go gettin' discouraged.
