Now, as gunshots echo across the windswept, Snow-covered reaches of the Wild North West, The challenge of the Yukon. Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead of the North West, Lacing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West, wanted police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.
Un-King, one, rescue! Gold, gold, discoloured in the Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike and the Wild Race for riches, back to the days of the Gold Rush, bring you the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog, Yukon King, as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.
