And now as gun shots echo across the wind, swept snow, covered reaches of the wild northwest, Quaker Pupweep, and Quaker Pupweep, the breakfast cereal, shot some guns, present the challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the northwest, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest-founded police,
in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. One King! One! One! Gold, gold discovered in the Yukon. A stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches. Back to the days of the Gold Rush. With Quaker Pop Wheat and Quaker Pop Rice bringing you the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.
