Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon! It's Yukon King! Swift! This is the strongest league dog of the North West. Plating the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West, Martin Police. In his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.

On King, Hunnio Huskies! Gold. Gold is going to 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.

David Mellow had gone to the Yukon to make his fortune, taking with him his young wife and little son George. They had staked a small claim a few miles from Selkirk where they hoped to make a strike within the year and then return to the states.

But two years had gone by, and though the claim had shown promise, the small amount of gold David and Helen Mello received from their claim was barely enough to keep them in food. One day David entered the cabin this consolately.

Hello, honey. Helen, we... we can't go on like this, we just can't. No, David. Don't worry, so we've managed up to now and sooner or later I'm sure you'll make a strike. Oh honey, it's no use trying to kid ourselves.

The summer will soon be over and another hard winter will be here. The past two years have been bad enough. Well, I admit it has been trying for all of us, especially George. It's very lonesome during the winter for an eight-year-old boy.

Helen, I am. I've decided to sell up and take you and George back to Seattle before the winter comes. Oh, David. After all we've gone through, it seems that you're ashamed to have to give it up.
