Transcript

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 Baldard Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. On King! On your Huskies!

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 Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog, you can king, as they meet the challenge of the you can.

The team was fighting its way through a blizzard, but when King slowed down and started to bark, the Sergeant knew there was some other reason than the difficulties of the trail. Hulking! King was barking at two mounds of white at the side of the trail.

The Sergeant unhornished him and he ran toward them. As he did so, a dog's head appeared from one of the mounds. Crouch close to the ground, he had been completely covered by the snow. There was no sign of life from the other mound, when the sergeant brushed the snow away.

The man king, dead. Quickly he examined the body. Not exposion. There's a bullet killed in, a bullet in his back. The husky who still crouched at his master's side looked up into the sergeant's face.

You've been guarding him, haven't you, old fella? I think you've stayed here until the cold jar killed. Sergeant went through the man's pockets. His papers identified him as John Taylor. There was no gold or money.

Murder. And the motive robbery. And a single clue. Old faithful I wish you could talk. That was how old faithful was named. And he proved that he deserved the name. When John Taylor was buried in the Dawson Cemetery, the dog refused to leave the grave.
