Synopsis:

Adventure series about Sergeant Frank Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police and his lead sled dog, Yukon King, as they fought evildoers in the Northern wilderness during the Gold Rush of the 1890's. Preston first joined the Mounties to capture his father's killer and when he was successful he was promoted to Sergeant. Preston's staunchest ally, who was arguably the true star of the show and indeed often did more work than he did, was the brave Alaskan husky, Yukon King. Typical plots involved the pair helping injured trappers, tracking down smugglers or saving cabin dwellers from wolverines. Although he was known to ride a horse now and then, generally Yukon King and his dog team were the key mode of transportation (as signalled by Preston's cry of 'On, King! On, you huskies!')
