Now, as howling winds echo across the snow-covered reaches of the Wild Northwest, we present Sergeant Preston of the Yukon, brought to you by the Quaker Oaks Company, makers of Quaker Pop Wheat, and Quaker Pop Right, the delicious cereal shot from gun, in cooperation with the mutual broadcasting system.

It's Yukon King, King swift as the strongest lead dog of the North West, breaking the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West Mounted Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. On King! On your case!

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. Bring you the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog, Yukon King, as they beat the challenge of the Yukon.
