The challenge of the Yukon! It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the North West, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the North West Mounted Police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. On King! On you 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, Rush, with Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog, Yukon King, as they meet the challenge of the Yukon.

They hired a man called Borneo Smith as their guide and started out for the creek. A month later, Neil and Borneo returned to the point. John would never return. And old Narana, the Indian squaw who cooked for the brothers, was the
first to hear of his tragic death. It was on the way back, Narana. You come from that country up there. Do you remember a cliff for about two hundred feet high. That ever came. And an old abandoned mine, the way off the trail at the foot of the cliff.
