Here's a little Christmas present brought to you by Sergeant :Preston of the Northwest Mounted Police and Yukon King. Paul Sutton is Sergeant Preston and Yukon King is voiced first by sound effects wizard Dewey Cole, then after Cole's death by Ted Johnstone. I believe it is Ted Johnstone who is featured on this episode.
It is also interesting to note that the series was developed as a dog show, with Yukon King as the star. In fact, the announcer's intro to this episode features Yukon King first. The writers were unsure whether Yukon King was a malamute or a huskie (he was referred to as both at varying times). King was raised by a she-wolf who was killed while King was a puppy and Preston found the young dog and rescued him.
Enjoy this Christmas episode from 72 years ago.
