As gunshots echo across the wind, Swaps, snow-covered reaches in the wild Northwest. Quaker, popped weak. Quaker, popped right. The breakfast cereal shot from gun. Present. The challenge of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strong asleep dog of the Northwest.

Placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mountain Police. In his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. On King Honu Husky! 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 Rise, bringing you the adventures of Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog Yukon King as they beat the challenge of the Yukon.
