Key Discussion & Story Points

Introduction to the Yukon (03:33–05:08)

• Scene-setting: With splendidly restored effects and period sponsor plugs for Quaker Puffed Wheat and Rice, listeners are transported to the Yukon during the gold rush—a lawless, dangerous frontier animated by the sounds of thundering hooves and crackling gunfire.
• Opening Situation: Two ex-sailors, Igor Jambol and Pete Arthur, arrive in Skagway with no intention of working claims. Jambol declares:

  “Only a few men get rich mining. The real money is in furs and hides. That is what we are going to get.” (Jambol, 05:19)

The Criminal Scheme and Murder (05:08–10:20)

• Criminal methods: Jambol and Arthur plan to become wealthy not by trapping but by stealing furs and hides from Indigenous people and others, resorting to violence if necessary.
• Mountie Investigation: Sergeant Preston and the young Constable Palmer are briefed by Inspector Conrad:
  • Quote:

    “It’s my opinion these men may be two ex-sailors… When you locate them, be careful of them. This Jambol could be dangerous.” (Inspector Conrad, 08:05)

• Rising Stakes: Reports come in about thefts and violence; Palmer is sent north to intervene.

The Killing of Constable Palmer (09:45–13:45)

• Violent Encounter: Palmer and an Eskimo ally, Arkavak, attempt to intercept the thieves at a fur storage cabin.
• Murder Recap (by Akavak):

  “Through both windows, one from each side. Constable Palmer saw the movement, he turned … they didn’t give him a chance.” (Akavak, 12:19)

• Aftermath: Palmer is dead, Arthur is killed, Arkavak is wounded. Jambol escapes northward, evading the Mounties.

The Manhunt (13:45–20:40)

• Tracking Jambol: Preston and Constable Guthrie split up to intercept Jambol by following riverbanks. Preston secures fur trader descriptions, while King, his loyal dog, is instrumental in following tracks.
• Key Quote:

  “Jambol must die where he was meant to die, on the gallows.” (Preston, 14:57)

Ambush and Final Pursuit (20:53–27:30)

• Jambol’s Desperation: Fleeing across marshes, Jambol ditches his horse, threatens a trapper for clothes, and sets up a decoy to throw Preston off.
• Preston’s Observance: The real trapper, posing as Jambol under duress, collapses before Preston, who learns of the switch.
• Quote:

  “He made me change clothes to lead you away from him… He had me covered with a gun. He'd have killed me if I didn't obey.” (Trapper Dan Bauer, 24:39)

• The Rapids Showdown:
  • Jambol attempts escape via canoe through dangerous rapids.
  • Preston and Guthrie coordinate to intercept him; Jambol fires at them. Rather than return fire lethally, they strategically shoot to puncture the canoe.
  • Quote from Preston on the Mountie code:

    “The law of the Northwest Mounted Police is not to use a gun until you are fired upon.” (Preston, 26:50)

Climax: Justice on the Rapids (27:30–29:30)

• Dramatic Rescue: Jambol, unable to swim, clings to a rock in the rapids. Preston, risking his life, ties a rope and plunges into the rushing water.
• Key Moment:

  “Give me your arm, Jambol… Use your hands to hold onto the rope around my waist. Use both hands. You’re not going to drown. I'll make sure you don’t.” (Preston, 28:23)

• With Guthrie's help, Preston hauls Jambol to safety, alive, to stand trial.

Resolution (29:50–31:20)

• Justice Served: Jambol confesses to multiple murders and thefts. Preston honors his vow to bring the killer in alive.
• Quote (Preston):

  “I said we’d take him alive to die on the gallows. You almost lost your life doing it. But we did it. That’s all that matters.” (Guthrie & Preston, 30:38)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Jambol’s Ruthlessness:

  “We’re not going to trap. We’re going to steal. Steal furs and hides from Indians, Eskimos and kill them if they try to stop us.” (Jambol, 05:24)

• Sergeant Preston’s Integrity:

  “The law of the Northwest Mounted Police is not to use a gun until you are fired upon.” (Preston, 26:50)

• Rescue Scene:

  “Give me your arm, Jambo. Come on. Your arm. You’re not going to drown. I’ll make sure you don’t.” (Preston, 28:23)

Tone & Atmosphere

True to its 1950s roots, the episode delivers suspense, moral clarity, and a respect for law and order. The narration and dialogue maintain a crisp, heroic tone. Effects—the howl of wind, barking dog, gunshots, and crashing water—are remarkably vivid, underscoring the life-and-death stakes of the Yukon wilderness.

Preview of Next Adventure

At the episode's close, a tantalizing teaser sets up the next “Challenge of the Yukon,” as Sergeant Preston is tasked to find the missing heir to a British title—rumored to have been raised among Eskimos—with more danger, drama, and northern adventure on the horizon.

“When Sergeant Preston does leave with a British investigator to search for the missing heir, he doesn’t realize others are also searching with the intent to murder the young heir.” (32:57)

---

In Summary

This episode is a prime example of golden age radio westerns: a sharp, action-heavy morality tale featuring colorful villains, resourceful heroes, and the vast, untamed North. The well-paced plot and memorable moments of suspense, justice, and Mountie steadfastness make it an enjoyable listen for new and nostalgic audiences alike.

Igor Jambol and Pete Arthur left their ship in Skagway and made their way into Yukon Territory. Jambol had a plan for getting rich and it didn't center around the search for gold. Only a few men get rich mining. The real money is in furs and hides. That is what we are going to get. We don't know anything about trapping Igor. We are not going to trap. We are going to steal. Steal furs and hides from Indians, Eskimos and kill them if they try to stop us. That's dangerous Igor. What about the moneys? Those red coats they are to laugh at. We will not care about them right now. We take the money we stole from the ship by horses. Then while the weather is still warm we set out for the land by the Arctic Circle. I know enough about that country to find what we are after. Within a few days Igor Jambol and Pete Arthur were ready to head north out of 40 mile. They had food, supplies, guns and ammunition and above all they had definite plans for robbing and cheating the natives above the Arctic Circle. The first reports that the two men were making a success of their lawless mission reached Northwest Mounted Police headquarters in mid summer. Sergeant Preston and King were in Inspector Conrad's office when Constable Palmer, youngest of the red coated recruits Entered. Constable Palmer reporting too. Oh, yes, Constable. How are you, Palmer? Fine, Sergeant. You? Well enough. But I'm able to keep away from the man eating mosquitoes we have up here. Hello there, King. Constable, Sergeant Preston and I have just been discussing a report I've received from the Peel river territory. You know the area up around there? I covered most of it during training, sir. Good. The Indians and some Eskimos to the north of them report that two men have been robbing their traps in their storage huts. They've been using violence too. I want you to bring them in. Yes, sir. It's my opinion that these men may be two ex sailors named Jambo and Arthur. These two have never checked out of the territory. And it's known that in the spring they equipped themselves for some sort of trading expedition. When they were around Dawson and 40 mile, they never got themselves into any serious trouble. But if I'm any judge of men, this Jambo could be dangerous. When you locate them, be careful of him. I'll be careful, Sergeant. Believe me. That's all, Constable. Yes, sir. Make your reports to the Mackenzie Peel post. Right, sir. Constable, I'll be up around the circle on inspection shortly. Hope I see you up there. I hope you do, Sergeant. Good day, Inspector. Good day, Constable. And good luck. A few days later, Sergeant Preston, riding his horse Blackie, set out on what promised to be a simple tour of inspection. Get up, Buggy. Come on, King. But when he arrived three weeks later at the Mackenzie Peel post of the Northwest Mounted Police, the expedition took on a new and alarming aspect. Oh, Buggy. Oh boy. Easy. As he dismounted, he saw a group of Eskimos gathered in front of the log structure. Their manner and the tone of their conversation seemed mournful. Something's wrong, King. The Eskimos, when they saw the Sergeant approach, lowered their eyes and became intensely silent. What is this? What's wrong? Ugold? You speak English? What's the matter? Body inside, Sergeant. Akavak, take body inside. Body inside. Come on, King. Constable Guthrie stood in the corner with Akavak, Dominion educated Eskimo. At their feet, covered with canvas, was a body. One look at the shining boots protruding from beneath the canvas was enough for Preston. Who is it, Palmer? The boy? Yes, Preston. Murdered. Who did it? Ask Arkavac. He saw it happen. All right, Arkavac, tell me about it. Yes, Sergeant. For many weeks now, tales have spread. The two white men who roam between the circle and the ocean, stealing from the traps of Indians and white men alike. They steal too, from Eskimos. When they do. They have used fists, sometimes guns, to complete their thievery. We've evidence they committed two murders, Sergeant. @ least Palmer did. It's there on the table in his book. Now look at it. Go on, Archelbach. We have heard the money sick them. As the word of their terror spreads, we too are ever alert for the time when they may try to steal from us. Last week, Constable Palmer appeared at the summer cabin that my people have built to store the furs and hides. We find the constable, knowing I speak English, sought me out. He is very excited when he enters the cabin. Parker. Mark. I'm glad you're here. I'm in charge of protecting the contents of this cabin. We have heard the two thieving white men. They're on their way here, huh? I'm surprised they're not here by now, the thieves, sir. How do you know this? I've been close on the trail for the past three days. Getting closer every minute. I was just a few miles behind them an hour ago. Seemed to me they were heading here. They haven't been here, and they're somewhere in the vicinity. I haven't investigated yet. But I knew they'd have to come to this cabin to get what they're after. And so I headed here first. We'll be ready for them. You a gun? Yes, sir. Be ready to use it. Started for the door, Sergeant. To look around. I worked with him. We paid no attention to the two windows, one on each side of the cabin. You can guess what happened? Yes. They ambushed him. Through both windows, one from each side. It must have come from the trees behind the cabin. Constable Palmer saw the movement at the window to his right, and he turned. Swine. They didn't give him a chance. But as he went down, he fired through one window and got this. Igor's partner. He killed him. What did you do, just stand there? No, sir. I used my gun. Aravo's wounded, Sergeant. Right arm inside. Oh, I'm sorry. Aravo. Yes, sir. I was unconscious for many hours. Luckily, some of my tribesmen found me and treated my wounds. Then we started here with the constable's body. We arrived but a few hours ago. I see. Arkavan, you say this Jambol escaped. You any idea in which direction he headed? North, sir. We're sure of that. He didn't attempt to rob the cabin. After shooting us, he rode north on his horse. The hoof prints prove that. Guthrie. I'm heading north at once. So am I. Jambold can't know much about this territory. But if he's heading north. Chances are he'll try to reach the ocean. I agree with you. He. He's most likely to follow the river. If he did, he'd be sure to reach his destination. Guthrie, suppose you cross the east bank of the river below here at the ford and cover the area five miles or so to the east of the stream. Heading north all the time. A good idea. You'll head north on the west side, huh? Working the same way. Right. How will we check with each other? Does Jambo a full day start on us? I'd say half a day, Sergeant. From what the Eskimos tell of him, his horse is not fast. We have good horses, Guthrie. One of us should catch up with him within the next couple of days. Sooner than that, I hope. So do I. But let's say two days. By then, we should be near Rivers Bend. Yes, I imagine so. Let's meet beyond the bend at the head of the rapids. We'll do that. Provided one or the other hasn't made contact with our mamma then. Right. And I'll meet you there day after tomorrow on your side. The east bank. I'll cross near Siwash Village. We'll start them now. Yes, Owen. Constable, take Jam Bull alive. He must die where he was meant to die, on the gallows. Arkavar gave a complete description of Jambo and the clothes he was wearing, a description supplied by Indians and Eskimos who had seen the man in the territory. Oh, Buggy. Oh, boy. Preston picked up the fresh hoof prints of a horse at sunset the following day. Come on, Buggy. In the morning, he followed them, getting further away from the river all the time, but he felt confident they belonged to Jambo's horse. As he galloped in pursuit, he realized at one point that he was riding parallel with Rivers Bend, where he had planned to meet Constable Guthrie later that day. But he dismissed all thought of the meeting. As he galloped north a short while later, he noted the hoof prints were heading toward the riverbank. And it was there along the shore, that he received proof that the prints were made by the horse of the man he sought, an old Siwash Indian capped on the side of the stream. Seeing the scarlet coat of the mountie, signaled for Preston to stop. Then Preston asked questions. The Indian answered me. See man unhorse like you say. Tall, big man with whiskers. Black. Ah, him. Stab him. Steal grub. Stole your grub, did he? That's Jambo, all right. The Indian reached into his small tent and brought forth a tattered coat Leave this Here. Take my coat. Much better one. Let me see that. Thanks, King. This coat, boy, belongs to the man we're after. Get the scent. Good boy. Let's get going. Steady, Blacky. All right, King. Get up, Blaggy. We'll continue our adventure in just a moment.

Oh dear. Oh dear. Is it that time? Oh, here. Miss, you dropped your shoe. Oh, I did? Thank you so much. I've dropped my shoe before when a clock began to strike. Why, you must be Cinderella. I am. You're really poor little Cinderella. You don't have to feel sorry for me anymore. Things are a lot better in the kitchen lately. Do you mean you even have Quaker Puffed Wheat and Quaker Puffed Rice in your cupboards? Oh, yes. And aren't they delicious? Oh, yes indeed. You know, Cinderella, Quaker Popped Wheat and Quaker Puffed Rice are shot from guns. They're actually exploded up to eight times normal size. Oh, no wonder they taste so crisp and tender. Sure, they're bigger and better tasting. They're shot through and through with bang up nut like flavor too. Well, I eat a big bowlful for breakfast every morning. And lots of times for supper too. Do you top it with your favorite fruit as well as milk or cream? Yes. Good. Oh, it's good for you too, Cinderella.

Well, for a nourishing breakfast treat you love to eat, reach for Quaker Puffed Rice or Quaker Puffed Wheat, the original crisp fresh breakfast cereal. Shot from gun. Now to continue. Igor Jambol had one thought in mind. Flight the Arctic Ocean shores. There he hoped he might find haven in some seal hunting vessel. Faster. Faster. He knew the killing of a Northwest mounted police officer meant relentless pursuit and suspected that the pursuit had already begun. You fool horse. Can you not go faster? He slapped at the horse's head. Get up. Get up there. The beast, frightened, suddenly shied. Its front leg sank into a hole in the ground and the animal fell with three were fang. Jambo was thrown clear, unhurt. But the animal lay on the ground, its leg raised and its eyes rolling in terror. Jambo rose to his feet slowly. What is that? He turned toward the distant barking and far back on a rise of ground, saw the silhouette of a dog. No. He realized the animal was barking to signal someone behind. He felt for the gun in his pocket, then removed it and wrapped it. The piece of oil skin he carried to keep it dry. Then he turned and ran across the marshy ground toward the stream which flowed nearby. As he neared the stream, he saw something he had not noticed before. A cabin on top of a hill on the other side of the water. Without hesitation, he plunged into the current and started to swim to the opposite sh. At that moment, King stood on top of the distant hill, barking in summons as Sergeant Preston rode up to him. Hoy ho, boy. What is it, King? What have you found? See something ahead? Oh, yes, King boy. We've caught up with our men. Come on, Blacky on King Igor. Jambo reached the other shore. He could hear the dog on the opposite shore approaching the spot where his horse had fallen. But Jambo paid no attention to this. Instead, he removed his revolver from the oilskin rack and started up the slope to the cabin at the top. So what is this? He glanced at a canoe propped against the side of the cabin and traps that hung on pegs. Then, without knocking, he pushed open the door. All that I told the man. Do not sit there looking so stupid. Drop that cup in your hands and remove your clothes. His gun was pointed at an old trapper who had been drinking tea. Do you hear what I say? Put down that cup and remove your clothes. Dad. Bauer was bewildered. Who are you? Are you crazy? No, I am not crazy. But I am wanted for murder, and I will add another one to my string if you do not do as I have ordered at once. All right. You don't have to shoot. But I don't understand. You do not have to understand. I am being pursued. I am removing my clothes, too. You will wear this. Me wear your clothes? Yes, and be quick about it. You will run from this cabin, away from the river and away from whoever is after me. But I can't run. You will run because I command it. I shall stay at this window with that rifle I see in the corner. If you stop for a second, I shall shoot. And when I shoot, I do not miss. Meanwhile, Sergeant Preston and King had sped to the spot where they'd seen a form sprawl on the ground. When he saw it was a stricken horse, he dismounted and ran to where the animal lay. All right, King. I saw him. Go to the cabin. We'll get him. But first I must attend this horse. As Preston finished bandaging the horse's leg, King, standing on the bank of the stream, began to bark. What is it, King? Oh. Preston followed King's gaze. On the opposite shore, a man stood in front of the cabin as if he were trying to attract attention. He was dressed in the clothes that Jamble had been described as wearing. Sergeant Preston mounted his horse and shouted, halt, Jumble. Halt, in the name of the crown. The man turned, ran around the side of the cabin, and headed for the nearby woods. Get up, Buggy. Come on, King. Easy, Buggy, easy. Weston guided the horse across a wide stream to the opposite shore. Up. Down. When the horse was on solid ground, the sergeant sent him into a gallop. Come on, Bly. King sped past the cabin after the horse. And when they had disappeared into the woods, Jambo, who had Been watching from a window. Emerged from the cabin. I have fooled you, Mr. Mount. Now we'll get that canoe at the side of the cabin, and before you realize what's happened, I will be miles away from here. A half mile from the cabin, Sergeant Preston overtook the fugitive. He lay face down on the grass, panting heavily. Hulky. Ho. Easy. Don't try an Atrix. Jumble Dragon. Don't shoot. Don't. Dead bower. What is this? I'm sorry, Sergeant. He made me change clothes to lead you here away from him. He had me covered with a gun. He'd have killed me if I didn't obey him. I couldn't run another step. Where is he? When you passed the cabin, he planned to take my canoe and head back downstream. He's probably gone by now. Downstream? If he does that, he'll run into the rapids. He knows that. He must have seen them on his way up country. He said he knows how to handle a canoe. His aim is to shoot the rapids, gain as many miles as possible and escape. When I picked up Jambo's trail, I traveled so fast, I must have left Guthrie miles behind on his side of the river. And he's supposed to meet me at River's Bend today. Well, that's where the rapids start. Yes, I know, Dan. That's what has me thinking. If Guthrie only knew that. But he doesn't. It's up to me to try and stop John Bull from getting through those rapids. He must be miles ahead of you by now. Not too many miles. The stream curves before it runs into the rapids. Riding across country on a straight line, I may get to the rapids as soon as he does. Ready, King? Don't worry about me, Sergeant. I'll be all right as soon as I get my wind back. Then I'll leave you here, dad. Go after him, Sergeant, and good luck. Thanks. Come on, King. Easy, Bucky Preston, after a breathless cross country ride, had arrived at the rapids below rivers bend. Here the stream, after completing a wide turn a quarter of a mile above, narrowed so that the opposite banks were approximately 30ft apart. And here the water churned as it leaped over jutting ridge rocks in the center of the stream. For miles thereafter downstream, the water was a rushing torrent that boiled like a cauldron. Constable Guthrie rode off from a nearby grove of trees. Has Jambool passed? Jambool passed here in the rapids. Yes, I've been chasing him. He was heading towards. What is it, King? Guthrie, look. Here comes John Bull around the bend. King's barking had directed Sergeant Preston's eyes toward Jambol in his canoe was straightening out after the turn. Ahead were the rockets and the swift current that would sweep him beyond his pursuer. Jambo peered downstream and to his horror saw the red coats of the two officers on the shore where the stream narrowed. Mounted. How did they get there? It was too late to head for shore and too dangerous. His chance for escape remained as before. Jambol dug his paddle viciously into the water to straighten the canoe. He had a revolver stuck in the top of his high laced boots, and he planned to use it. You will not stop me, Preston. If need be, I will kill you. The law of the Northwest Mounted Police is not to use a gun until you are fired upon. Jamble, as his canoe near the start of the rapids, held his paddle free of the water for a moment and used his right hand to fire at the two men on sh. You will never stop me. We use our guns now, Guthrie. Right. Look, here he comes under the rapids. Don't shoot at him. We want him alive. There it is. Canoe. When he's closer. Right. Jambo entered the rapids, paddling with all his strength and trying to stay close to the opposite shore. But Preston and Guthrie were marksman. Their shots ripped through the crack, and within seconds, water began to pour into the bottom. Panicky, Jambo reached for his gun once more, but as he did, the canoe hit a rock, throwing him into the swirling waters. His head hit a corner of the rocks, but somehow Jambo managed to hold onto the jutting edge. I cannot swim. Help me. Preston took in the situation at the glance. He can't swim. He'll drown if I don't get him. That current's too strong to swim through. Then another thought came. Preston tied a rope tightly around his waist. Guthrie, hold tight to the rope. I'm going in after him. I've got it. Preston removed his hat and boots and plunged into the turbulent water. His strokes were long and powerful. The savage current would have dashed him against the rocks and sent him whirling downstream had it not been for Constable Guthrie. The rope was beneath Preston's arms, around his chest. Chest and gusy pulled and tugged, leading him as he would a great game fish towards the struggling Jamble. Careful, guys. Save me. I am drowned. Give me your arm, Jumbo. Come on. Your arm. Preston was holding one free hand onto the jutting rock. With the other, he grabbed Jambo's arm. Use your hands to hold onto the rope around my waist. Use both hands. You're not going to drown. I'll make sure you don't take hold of that rope? No. All right, all right. I have it. All right. Start pulling, Guthrie. As Jambo held onto the rope around Preston's waist, the Bounty swam back to where Guthrie stood on shore. Guthrie, tugging on the rope, guided them back to the edge of the rapids. Then, assisted by Preston, still in the water, he pulled Jamble ashore. Fly down, away. I give you a hand, Preston. Thanks, Guthrie. Nice going, Preston. Nice going. Yes, King Boy. We caught him. Jamble's getting his strength back now, Guthrie, suppose we start to question him. Something tells me that he's in no position to refuse. Sit up, Jambo. We've some questions to ask you. An hour later, Jamble was handcuffed and placed on Guthrie's horse. The man frightened had confessed the murder of Palmer and two Eskimos and had told of the places where he had hidden the stolen furs. Now Sergeant Preston prepared to leave. You will not come to Dawson with me when I take this fellow in? No, not now. I'll be there for the trial. I said we'd take him alive to die on the gallows. You almost lost your life doing it. But we did it. That's all that matters for the time being. As far as I'm concerned, this case is closed. Sergeant Preston will return in just a moment with a word about our next exciting adventure.

D.C. politicians want to enact harmful credit card mandates that could take away your cash back and rewards points. Perks that stretch your budget and make life a little easier. Losing these benefits means less money for your family's everyday essentials like gas and groceries. The perks you rely on could disappear, leaving you with higher costs and fewer options. Tell Congress to guard your card and oppose the Durbin Marshall credit card mandates. Paid for by Electronic Payments Coalition.

This is your inquiring reporter with a question for the day. What is your family's favorite breakfast cereal? Of course, it's Quaker Puffed Rice and Quaker Puffed Wheat. Well tell me, why do your children like them? They like them because they're the ones shot from guns. And what does dad like about them? Oh, he likes their toasty nut like flavor. Ah yes, that's the flavor of the good natural grain, the sun ripened flavor that old Mother Nature puts into it. Well, you see, in our family, the children like their cereal very, very sweet. But my husband doesn't want his nearly so sweet. And that's the beauty of Quaker Puffed Rice and Quaker Puffed Wheat. They are never coated with factory sweetening. Yes, that is a big advantage. My family can sweeten them with sugar just the way they like them. And every bowlful gives your family extra food values of restored natural grain, amounts of vitamin B1, niacin and iron. That's why I'm glad my family wants to eat them every single morning. So it's a smart mother who always puts delicious, nourishing Quaker Puff Rice and Quaker Popped Wheat on the breakfast table. Remember, the ones shot from guns come only in the big red and blue packages with a sealed inner lining that keeps them fresh as can be. And now, here is Sergeant Preston. Sergeant Preston reporting for duty. Inspector. Sergeant. The missing heir to a British title in the States is thought to have been raised as an Eskimo. A special investigator is here from London to search for him. What's the name of the missing man? Sir Ernest Deming. His father, son of Lord Deming, Earl of Richland, became a missionary here among the Eskimos against Lord Deming's wishes. The missionary and his wife died during an epidemic about 17 or 18 years ago. Their baby boy never was accounted for. Sergeant, I want you to search among the Eskimos for some trace of him. I'll leave at once, Inspector. When Sergeant Preston does leave with a British investigator to search for the missing heir, he doesn't realize others are also searching with the intent to murder the young heir. Be sure to hear this next exciting adventure. These radio dramas, a feature of Sergeant Preston of the Yukon Incorporated, are created by George W.
