"On, King! On, you huskies!"
The Challenge of the Yukon was a long-running adventure show that aired from February 3, 1938 to June 9, 1955. It featured Paul Sutton as Sergeant William Preston, the show’s main character, along with the “Yukon King,” his sidekick. The story was about how Preston and his sidekick fought the evildoers during the period of the Gold Rush in the 1890s. Preston’s initial goal was to capture the killer of his father. After doing so, he started to work for Inspector Conrad, with the assistance of Pierre, his French-Canadian guide.Throughout its run, the show was heard over different networks, starting from Detroit’s WXYZ, then to ABC from 1947 to 1949, and finally on Mutual from 1950 until the last episode on 1955. The show later had its TV adaptation. Click here to read more about Challenge Of The Yukon (Sgt Preston)
