The challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness is the strongest lead dog of the North West, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West mounted police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.

Unkain the new west-key! Gold, gold is covered in Yukon, a stampede to the Klondike in the wild race for riches, back to the days of the Gold Rush. Rush, with Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog, Yukon King, as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.

There were two young men who came up to the Yukon during the first summer of the Gold Rush. One was Charles Edward Talbot from Beacon Hill in Boston, and the other was named Edward Lee Jordan, whose home was in New Orleans.

They met for the first time in the 303, that wild and wide-open scaphe, Sophie Smith ran and in Skagway. Eddie Jordan was sitting at a table with slick charmers and Talbot was standing at the bar only a few feet away.

Slick was trying to sell a deal claim. You've heard of an answer, Craig, haven't you? Well, sure. Now that's where this claim is and it's yours for two thousand dollars. That's a lot of money. It's almost all I have. You ask anybody if it isn't a bargain.

Yeah. Why don't you do that? Oh, you. Name is Talbot. Why don't you mind your own business? I'm just trying to be helpful. You suggested that your friend ask anybody as a claim for $2,000 and the bonanza wasn't a bargain.

Why doesn't he ask me? Very well, sir. I am asking. It is, sir. The name is Edward Lee Jordan, sir. All right. I and his child Edward Talbot. My friend call me Chuck. They call me Eddie.
