Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swift as the strongest lead dog of the Northwest, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest-Bounded Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. One King on your Huskies.

Gold, gold is covered in 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 returning from patrol one morning and was mushing along the trail bordering Venture Creek. His great lead dog, Yukon King, was running ahead of the team as loose lead. In the distance to the small cabin, suddenly King increased his speed and sprinted forward.

What's up, Perra? And the Sergeant saw what had attracted King's attention. It was a body lying in the snow in front of the cabin. Oh, you're hot! It's a girl, King. The Sergeant raised her head and pushed back the hood of her parker.

The girl was young, not more than 19 or 20 at the most. Her face was deathly pale and her cheeks were hollow. She's still alive, King, and better carrier into the cabin. As the sergeant later down on the bunk, the girls' eyes flickered open.

Who are you? Sergeant Preston, northwest Mounted Police. I found you lying unconscious in front of the cabin. Oh, I see. Thank you, Sergeant. I'm Mrs. Red, need a red... What happened? I was feeling quite ill a while ago.

I thought perhaps if I went outside, we got some fresh air. Well, I might feel, but... Yes, I've made it. How do you feel now? All right. Quite all right. Where's your husband? He went out honey.
