|Adapted from the radio series ''Challenge of the Yukon'', this series features actor Richard Simmons (not the fitness guru of the same name) as Sgt. Preston, an officer with the Northwest Mounted Police (the predecessor of the [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police]]), who pursued lawbreakers in Canada's North in the days of the Klondike Gold Rush of the 1890s with help from his Alaskan Malamute dog Yukon King and his horse Rex. The show emphasized morals, values, tolerance for others and respect for the law, with Sgt. Preston always successful in capturing each episode's villains and bringing them to justice. | |Adapted from the radio series ''Challenge of the Yukon'', this series features actor Richard Simmons (not the fitness guru of the same name) as Sgt.
