The challenge of the Yukon! It's Yukon King, swiftness and strong asleep dog of the North West, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West Marred Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers on cake on the west.

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, They meet the challenge of the Yukon!

Butch Jans was serving a five-year term in the Dawson City Jail. But one night in January, he succeeded in breaking out of his cell and overpowering the guard. By the time his escape was discovered the following morning, the snow had covered his tracks and Butch was heading north toward the mining community of poker men.

Late that evening, he arrived at the cabin of a friend named Zeke Murdock. What do you want? You think I want, Murdoch? Holy smoke, it's butch cans. It's a dark heart, I didn't recognize it.

Well, don't stand there, yappin', let me in. Yeah. Thought you were in jail, down in Doss. I was, but I busted out. Well, how on Sunday did you get up here? You suppose I got here, I walked.

Stoke up the fire in the stove, will ya? Yeah. Hey, you're lucky the wolves didn't get you. They're plenty bold around these parts. And they don't go near, did. Old Packham came at me back there, the other side of the ring.

Yeah, oh, what did you do? I holed up in the cave and took a few shots at him. Finally scared the critters off. Why'd you get the gun? I'd belong to the guard back at the jail.
