Transcript

As gunshots echo across the wind swept, snow-covered reaches of the wild Northwest, Quaker Oats, the giant of the cereals, presents Sergeant Preston of the Yukon. It's Yukon King, swiftness and strongest lead dog of the Northwest, placing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest-founded police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.

One King! On, you husky! 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.

The long journey from Selkirk northward to Dawson was one few men in the Yukon territory cared to make during the strenuous winter season. But Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police, with his great dog Yukon King, hadn't hesitated to set out by Dogg's Land, in spite of the hazards of cold and wind and snow and

ice. Ever since the Mountedies dog had started the trip, snow had been falling steadily. A fine hard snow that whipped by the wind, stung their faces and smotted their eyes. Finally, after traveling several hours, Sergeant Preston halted the dog team for a short rest.

Fucking! How you hickies, brother? Well, for the to be traveling, King, this can't be helped. Two cooks who are following can't be too far ahead. For several minutes, the Maori let the dogs rest. Then, as the intense cold began to penetrate his clothing.

Alright, boy. The range of hills not too far ahead. We'll push on until we reach it and find Sheldon, one of the canons there. Up front fella. Oh, I don't king! On you have to stop.
