Transcript
The challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swift as the strongest lead dog of the northwest, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mountain Police. In his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. And King on your Huskies.
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 Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.
The trail down the hillside was steep and narrow. Shorty Sprague break is sled hard to keep it under control during the sharp descent. Easy, curling! Easy Dave! Easy! Easy! The passenger on Shorty sled was a beautiful blonde girl clad in a Link's pocket.
Both Shorty and the girl had their eyes fixed on another dog team that was climbing the trail several hundred yards below them. Finally the girl spoke. Shorty? Isn't that one of Hester's men driving that sled?
It sure is Miss Gilbert. His name is Joe Goh. Joe Goh. But he's the worst of the lot. He's big and he's mean. Maybe we better pull over to one side and wait till his sled goes by.
Don't you worry ma'am, we're going downhill. So we've got the right away. Shorty took it for granted that the uphill sled would give way according to the custom of the trail. Easy, you... But as the two teams drew close together, he realized that Gald had no intention of pulling aside.
A moment later the two teams came face to face. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Shorty halted his team with difficulty, barely in time for then a clash between the opposing sled dogs. He shouted angrily at Gald.
