Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon! It's Yukon King, swift to some strongest lead dog of the North West, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West Mountain Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.

Unking! Un-nusky! 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, Rush, with Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon. It was shortly after the Northwest Mounted Post had been established at the top

of Chilcout and White Pass, that Sergeant Preston drove down from Dawson with a load of mail from the Sowados and the Klondike. His final destination was the Port of Scagway, but he He also carried the spatches for Major Ward, the military governor of the territory who was making his temporary headquarters at the White Pass Customs Post.

He found the Major in his office. Yes? I have the spatches from Inspector Conrad and Dawson, sir. So I'd impressed him. I didn't recognize you at first in those trio of clues. Welcome to White Pass.

Sit down and make yourself comfortable. Thank you, sir. What kind of a trip did you have? Well, I made fairly good time. Trail wasn't broken below the Stewart River. We ran into a lot of ice jams in the 30-mile, but we made it in 16 days.

Right, that's excellent. You're the first man to come out of the clap dikes, is the freezer. Yes, sir. The mail was piling up in Dawson, and the inspector decided something should be done about it.

I'm carrying nearly 1,000 pounds. My orders are to deliver it to the American Post Office in Skagway. And then what? Pick up the Dawson mail, head north. Your team will need a rest before you start back.
