Now as gunshots echo across the windswept, snow-covered reaches of the Wild Northwest, Quaker Puff Wheat, and Quaker Puff Rice, the breakfast cereal shot from guns, present the challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the Northwest, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police, In his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers,

King Hunyohsky! 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 Pop Wheat and Quaker Pop Thrice, bringing you the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his Wonder Dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.

You, fellas and girls, know a good food when you taste one. And here's what's so good about Quaker Puffed Wheat and Quaker Puffed Rice. They're made from only the premium grains of wheat or rice.

And these choice-flavor-rich grains are shot from guns, actually exploded up to eight times normal size to make them bigger and better-tasting. Yes, they're crisp, tender, delicious. Just see how good they taste tomorrow morning. Treat yourself to Quaker Puff Rise or Quaker Puff Wheat.

Sergeant Preston rode along the trail toward White Horse with the great dog Yukon King running alongside. It was spring and the Thor had brought a great deal of activity to the great Northwest country. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh.

Oh, oh, oh. Suddenly Preston heard a distant shot. He stopped for a moment listening. A shot, King. We'll go along the trail a bit and see what we can find out about it. Get up, Lucky!

Sergeant Preston followed by King, rode at a fast pace. Until as they rounded a bend on the trail, the Mounties saw a figure lying on the ground, and a horse grazing nearby. Oh, Lucky, hold on, steady!
