The challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strong asleep dog of the Northwest, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest-mounted police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Unkink! One new scheme!

Gold. Gold. Discovering 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.

Summer was a busy time in the Yukon. Not only did the prospectors take advantage of the mild weather in the long hours of daylight, but also the lawless element became more active. One of the men who had no respect to fear of the law was big tough, Jake McGraw.

McGraw gang was fast becoming notorious throughout the Yukon territory. And Selkirk laid openly held up a crowded cafe. What's this? Alright, this is the holdup. First, you want to make a move? Is it dead?

You all get away with this? The Mounties will get right on your trail. I'm used to having Mounties on my trail. Alright, get the gold memory of that. Alright, we'll get that gold already, Jack.

We'll clean out the place. Let's get busy. Let's go! Get in there! The night before the boat from Selkart docked at the settlement of Indian Creek, Jack McGraw and his gang held up the express office where large shipments of gold were ready to be put on the boat.

Alright, let's go. Right there. What do you want? Shut up. That's the whole nothing. Save us luck. I won't let you take the gold chance. I ought to give you a bullet. This will shut you up.
