Transcript
Now as gun shots echo across a wind swept snow covered breeches of the wild Northwest, Quaker Oats, the giant of the cereals, freesem, Sergeant Preston of the Yukon. Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! It's Yukon King, swift as the strongest lead dog of the Northwest, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mountain 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, with Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog Yukon King as they meet the challenge of the Yukon, brought to you by Quaker Oats.
Sergeant Preston was on the trail when he saw Tom Gordon near the latter's newly found mining property. Gordon's sled was loaded, and the elderly prospector was harnessing his dog when Preston stopped his team near the mine.
Looking! Hi, Austin! Hello, Tom! Hi, Sergeant! Don't tell me you're giving up on this mine of yours? Give it up! No, sir. Not when it's giving up to me. Giving up more gold than I ever saw anywhere in these parts.
You really made a strike, Tom? Yeah, look at those bangs on that sled. There's nothing but gold in them. That's right. Filled with dust they are. Dust and some nuggets I washed out for taking off.
Congratulations, Tom. You've worked hard. You deserve to strike it rich. Thanks. I'm taking this load of white horse for banking. I aim to hold on to what I've mined so far. I'll help you, Tom. I'm going to white horse myself.
Huh? You'll help me? Well, dog gone. I never expected anything like this. This is swell. We should make white horse within three days. Unless a blizzard comes up, I don't like to look to that sky.
