gate. 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-monnet police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Gold! Gold discovered in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the greedy race for reaches.

Now back to the days of the Gold Rush, when Sargent Preston and his wonder dog king battled through storm and snow to preserve Lawnd Order as they met the challenge of the Yukon. Only about a half hour of daylight was left of the winter day in the Yukon when two men stood beside the trail from Dawson. One of them was short and broad with a black moustache

and straight black hair that fell down over his forehead from under his parka hood. His partner was younger and slimmer. I'll handle the shooting slim. You better get down the trail of ways and stop the dogs. You think you'll get here soon Frisco? Maybe you can't on the way and we'll try to get to the male cabin tonight. You should be here any minute now. Our dog team ain't too good.

Don't you think we'd better take the male team? They got the best dogs in the territory outside of the police. And they know the dogs. That'd be one sure way to get caught. We forget the male team, We just take the gold and get away fast.

Alright. Sounds like a dog team now. Go on, get down the trail and stop the team after I shoot. Sure, Frisco. Good luck. It's just enough daylight left. I can't miss. Oh no. I got him, Slim.
