Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon! It's Yukon King, swiftest and strongest lead dog of the North West, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West, Marred Police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers on King Husky!

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.

Sergeant Preston was sent down to San Francisco to pick up Red Gavin, who was wanted for murder in Whitehorse. He took King with him. The tall, broad-shouldered red-coated Mouty attracted a great deal of attention in the city, But people were even more interested in King, a real lead dog, a veteran of the fabulous Yukon Trail.

The men at police headquarters were no exception, and there was no work done until the Sergeant and King were ushered into the Superintendent's office. How do you do, Sergeant? Please sit down. Thank you, sir.

We see you sleut in prayer, a little captured red yavin. My congratulations, Lieutenant. Yes. That's a great dog you have there. I think so. Beauty. I've never seen one like him. Does he mind if you pet him a bit?

Hmm, not at all. Yeah. Hiya. Good boy. Brought him along so I wouldn't have to be handcuffed to Gavin all the way back to the Yukon. King will guard him for me. Oh, you better tell the sergeant to Sad News, sir.

Sad news? Yes, it's true that Gavin was captured in the reality of waiting for him, but... He isn't there now. He broke out the night before last. Every sponsor will live in discipline. But the tasen is bad as it might be. We know where Gavin is hiding out. At least we're fairly certain.
