Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon! It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead talk of the North West, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West-Bounded Police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Unking, un-you husking!

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, Yukon King, as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.

King had come to the Yukon territory. There was great activity in Whitehorse as some prospectors prepared to work their claims. Others who had succeeded in getting enough gold to satisfy them sold their belongings and headed for the States.

One year old Bobby Vail, whose father worked at the Express Office, left their cabin on the edge of town and walked to the General Store. Several men stood in front of the store listening to a prospector who discussed a dog team was taking to the kennels.

Yeah, I made a quick deal for all seven of these dogs of the fellow from up the creek. It was heading for the States. I thought I got a bog until I found out one of them was no good.

Man, they looked pretty good to me. Yeah, which is the bad one. That wife was there. After the fella laughed with my cash, I discovered that white husky is blind. Well, anyway, I got six good ones.

You'll take them to the kennels to board for the summer. They'll have the kennel master draw away with the blind one. No good in the team disrupts all the others. You mean you're going to have that nice white dog kill?
