You sent for me sir? Yes, Constable Downey. I have an assignment for you. Yes sir. Sergeant Preston is returning from his leave. He'll arrive in Skagway tomorrow morning on the city of Portland. It'll be good to have him back. It will indeed. Take two extra horses with you. One for the sergeant, his own of course, Rex. And another for the prisoner he's bringing back from San Francisco. Prisoner? Matt Shane. Shane? He's wanted for the Crawford murder in Dawson. Exactly. The sergeant was visiting friends in San Francisco and he had a hunch that Shane might be found there. So he couldn't resist the temptation of going to work. Well that doesn't surprise me. His vacation turned into a busman's holiday. He started looking for Shane. Found him. And with the help of the San Francisco Police. Shane was taken into custody. There was an extradition hearing, and now the sergeant is bringing him back here for trial. Now, about tomorrow, Donnie. Yes, sir. As I told you, the sergeant ship is docking at Skagway. That's only a few miles from here at the foot of the pass. But it's American territory and we have no authority there. You'll have to get permission from the town marshal to carry a gun. Yes, sir. You may need it. The marshal's finding it difficult to preserve law and order. Shane has friends in Skagway. There may be trouble getting him from the ship up here. We'll be on the lookout for it. Well, I'd suggest that you leave at once and spend the night in one of the hotels near the harbor. The ship's due in at daybreak. Very well. Inspector, I wonder if I might take someone else with me. I can't spare another man. Not a man. I was thinking of King, the sergeant's dog. Oh, I'm sure you've noticed him, sir. He's grieving. This has been the longest he and the sergeant have ever been separated. And, well, have you noticed his eyes? Indeed I have. It would be a shame to delay his reunion with the sergeant any longer than was necessary. I agree. Downey, take him with you. Thank you, sir.
