Now as gunshots echo across the windswept, snow-covered reaches of the wild northwest, Quaker-Puffed Wheat, and Quaker-Puffed Rise, the breakfast cereal shot from guns, present the challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the Northwest, blacing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest-mounted police, Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.

And King, the plot of the rescue. 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 Quaker Puff Wheat and Quaker Puff Rice bringing you the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.
