Transcript

The challenge of the Yukon! Woooo! Woooo! It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the Northwest, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police, in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers! Unkang!

Un-Yoh-Husky! Woooo! 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.

The first blizzard of the year caught Harry Esman when he was only halfway to Beaver City. He knew that he must travel light if he were to make it to town, so he cashed his gold dust and most of his supplies. Then he struggled on, fighting the blinding snow with every step. Finally he lost the trail, alone in the great pine forest his

sense of direction gone completely. Still there was nothing to do but keep going. Somewhere, somehow, through the night and the heavy drips. His strength was heavy. He could hardly place one foot in front of the other. When he saw the light, a cabin, he staggered toward it.

He reached the door and raised his arm to knock. But the effort was too much for him. He pitched forward, hitting the door with his head as he dropped to the ground. A moment later, the door opened. I shut that door. I thought I heard something out here. No. Oh it's it's a man a traveler almost done for. Come on give me a hand with him.

For the rest. Well Mike if it's all right. Like this sleep in the other room we can't let him freeze to death. Come on. This is your idea remember. All right so it's my idea. I'm the blankest by the stove. Yeah. Yeah. Close the door Charlie. Oh right.
