Transcript

Now as gunshots echo across a windswept 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 Mountain Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers.

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.

Old Sowardo Jim McAllister was a very sick man, and he knew it. He had worked many streams during his three years in the Yukon and had panned enough gold to send back to his wife and daughter in estates, so that they had not been in want.

But now on the threshold of his first great strike, the feeling of doom was upon him. He had hit Paterd, a seemingly endless vein of gold that promised fortune untold. But his sickness made all that seem dim.

The Callister entered the canvas tent where he kept all his belongings. With paper and pencil, he sat down and began to write and draw laboriously. Jim McAllister almost collapsed as a new outburst of coughing convulsed him.

When he recovered, the desire to get away from his diggings and to reach the town of Dawson became paramount at his mind. He placed the unfinished letter in an envelope and placed it unsealed in a large wallet which he carried in the pocket of his pocket.

Hours later, Miles missed starting point, and now on the main trail to Dawson, Jim McAllister collapse. Clay Barnum and Joe Carter, after a summer and autumn of ill-fortuner gold fields, were heading south to Dawson when they saw through the driving snow a blur of off-color against the whiteness.
