There's no one that can make a better cereal than Quaker Popped Wheat. It's neat. And when you hear that shootin' you're dern tootin' the Quaker makes the ones shot from guns, fellas and girls, here's a tip. Eat a better breakfast. Enjoy a better day. Say, just picture yourself in Sergeant Preston's shoes. Battling desperate outlaws fighting blizzards on dog sled journeys. Well, you'd soon find out that that real stamina calls for a nourishing he man breakfast. So remember, every time you eat a heaping bowl full of delicious crisp Quaker Puffed Wheat or Quaker Puffed rice, you get extra food values of restored natural grain amounts of vitamin B1, niacin and iron. So for a nourishing treat, eat swell tasting Quaker puffed rice or Quaker puffed wheat. The spring thaw had come to the Yukon Territory and the first riverboat from the States brought a capacity load of new arrivals to Dawson. Two men stood at the rail waiting for the crowd to thin out before going ashore. Bart Allen, a large rough looking man, stared at the crude buildings of the town. Then he spoke to his companion. Well, Bill, this is it. Not much to look at. I'd hate to think we were going to get stuck here with a little cash we have between us part. Don't let that worry you. Remember what I told you about Fred Bertram who used to be in the gang with me in the States? Yeah. Didn't you say he did a stretch in prison in Frisco? Yeah, and now he's office manager of the Dawson Mining Company. I think Fred'll be glad to see that we don't starve just to make sure we keep our mouths shut about his past. I figure he isn't going to be too happy to set eyes on you, Bart. Maybe not, but that isn't going to make any difference to me. Come on, it's time we went ashore. Soon as we get settled in a room somewhere, we look up Fred Burton. Let's go. It was later that day when Barton Bill entered the mining office in Dawson. The manager, Fred Bertram, was alone in the office and was busy at his desk. He looked up as the two men approached. Good afternoon. What can I do for you? I guess you don't remember me, do you, Fred? You are familiar, but I. Bart. Bart Allen. That's right. Meet my partner, Bill Calvin. Howdy, Bertram. Hello, Calvin. It's been a long time since I saw you, Bart. What brings you to the Yukon? I think there's plenty of easy cash up here, Fred. And I think too that you're the one to tell us how to go about getting some of it. Everybody works for it up here, Bart. Oh, you don't say. I was inquiring about you around town. I hear you're doing right. Well, I've worked hard to get where I am. Well, let's see. Must be about five years since you got out of prison down in Frisco, isn't it? That's right, it is. But why bring that up? I Paid my debt to society by staying in prison three years. I've gone straight ever since. Well, now, that's mighty inspiring, isn't it, Bill? He's gone straight for five long years. Yeah, Maybe he might convert us if he tries hard enough. Get to the point, Bart. What do you want? Why did you come here to see me? All right, I'll get to the point. No man with a prison record ever gets to be manager of a big mine unless he lied about his past. We need some ready cash. And if you don't want the past to catch up with you, Fred, you better see that we get some right now. So you came here to blackmail me, is that it? Put it that way, if you like. I understand a man named Maitland owns this mining company. Now, if you don't want him to find out about his office manager, you better get off your high horse and deal with this friendly life. All right. Well, here's $50. It's about all I have in my wallet. Fifty measly dollars. Why? Oh, wait, Bart. Take it. That'll help a little for the present. Give me it. I guessed right. Maitland doesn't know that you did time in prison. Now, be reasonable, Bart. You know, I was only 19 when I, well, got mixed up with you and the others. At 20, I was sent to prison, even though I hadn't really been on any of the robberies with a gang. Four years ago, I married. I came here for a fresh start. Maitland gave me a job, and I made good. Why not forget the past and let us alone? Gosh, Fred, that sob story of yours has done something to me. Yeah, it shows me where our easy money is gonna come from. For a second, I thought you'd gone soft hearted by Bertram. We'll take the 50 as a sort of a small promise of what to expect in the future. Pleasant dreams, my friend. We'll be back in a day or so to have another talk. Go, Bill. That night, Fred Bertram, worried by the threat out of the pass to his security and happiness, slept very little. At breakfast next morning, the strain was evident not only from his appearance, but also from the way he barely touched his food. His wife, Beatrice, concerned by his looks and attitude, remarked. Fred, something's wrong. What is it? Wrong? What gave you that idea, Bea? The way you look, Fred, and you've eaten so little. I didn't sleep very well, that's all. Perhaps you're working too hard at the office. No, no, it's nothing. Forget it. I have to start for the office, have a lot to do this. Before you leave, I need some cash. Will you give me $10? I sorry, but I haven't any cash. B Yesterday you said you had $50. Have you forgot? I said I haven't any cash, so there's no use nagging me about it. Going to the office now. Goodbye. That evening, the crook Bill Calvin entered the hotel room he shared with Bart Allen. Well, Bill came back from the cafe earlier than I expected. I got into a card game and lost all the cash you gave me. We'll have to hit that friend of yours for more, Bart. I doubt if he'll have any mortal payday. Listen, I heard a couple of miners talking in the cafe. Seems that tomorrow is payday, and they go to the mining office to collect. Well, I noticed that Fred Bertram is working late at the office. I saw him through the window as I passed by. What are you leading up to, Bill? Yes, this. Putting two and two together. I figure he's there making up the payroll. That means there's plenty of cash in that office right now. Oh, and you think we might have a chance to get it, Is that it? That's exactly what I was thinking. With the hold you have over Bertram, it seems to me we could force him to open the safe and give us that door. And we could figure some way to let him take the blame. You're smarter than I gave you credit for it, Bill. If the money was gone from the safe and Fred disappeared, they'd blame him as soon as the police here checked his past record. And what are we waiting for? Let's get to the mining office before he leaves. Right. But first we have to figure out a getaway for the three of us. Oh, yeah, I didn't think of that. I think I have the answer. The boat leaves at midnight for Selkirk. I made enough last night gambling to buy three tickets. Now we'll force Fred to open the safe, and we'll knock him out. And between the two of us, we'll get him on board. The dock is close to the mining office, but somebody might ask questions when we try to go aboard. I'll fix that. Don't you worry. Let's go to the mine office and get that payroll. At the mining office, Fred Bertram had finished making up the payroll and had locked the money in the safe. He turned out the light, went to the front door of his office. He unlocked the door and started out. When we've been waiting for you to come out, Fred, Step back inside quick, or I'll use this gun. Now, Bart, hold on. Get up and get inside like he said. I'll hold this gun at his back, Bill, while you light the lamp on his desk. Shades are down so nobody will see you, sir. Right. All right, Bart. Alfred, just amble over there and open that safe. Maitland has the combination. I know you have it, too. Now get over there. So help me, I'll plug you. Now, go on, Bart. Wait a minute. I told you. Open it or maybe you want a bullet. But I. I'll open. That bag in there. Must be the payroll. Get a bill. Sure. There you have it. Now close and lock the safe. You'll not get away with this. There's 5,000 in that bag, and you won't. Quiet. You gave him a nasty cut on the head, Bart. He'll get over it. Make sure the coast is clear out front. And we'll hold him between us like he's had too much to drink. And head for the boat. Now hurry. And don't forget to lock the door after us. Fred's wife, Beatrice, waited all night for his return. Then, worried and upset, she first went to the office, which she found locked. Then she went to police headquarters and was talking to Sergeant Preston, the Northwest Mounted Police. I don't know what to make of it, Sergeant. Fred has never stayed away from home all night before. You say you stopped by the mining office? Yeah. The door was locked, so I came here. Fred wasn't himself this morning at breakfast. I feel something is terribly wrong, and I'm very much worried. Please find him for me, Sergeant. I suggest you go back to your cabin and wait, Mrs. Bertram. I'll do what I can to locate Fred. I'll send you word as soon as I do. If anything has happened to him. Don't worry. Now you go along home. All right, Sergeant. But please let me know as. As soon as you find out anything. Of course. After Beatrice Bertram left headquarters, Sergeant Preston with his dog, Yukon King, went to the mining office. He found the owner, Mr. Maitland, just unlocking the front door. Morning, Mr. Maitland. Oh, yeah. Good morning, Sergeant. Hey, come inside, Sergeant. Thank you. What can I do for you? Mrs. Bertram has reported that her husband didn't come home last night. She's quite upset. Well, that isn't at all like Fred. He's a very reliable and steady type of man. Of course, if he and his wife had a spat, she claims there's no reason for his action. As a matter of fact, he should have been here to open up. This is payday, and the men will soon be coming for their pay. I know Fred was here Last night making up the pay envelopes. I see. If you don't mind, I'll get the payroll from the safe and be ready for the man. All right. Sergeant, come here quick. What's the matter? The payroll is gone. There was 5,000 in cash and the only one who could have taken it from the safe is Fred Burtam. We'll continue our adventure in just a moment.

You know, fellas and girls, you sure bump into a lot of interesting characters when you travel with Sergeant Preston up in the Yukon. Like the time we stopped the trading post on the way to Whitehorse. In came a jaunty old French trapper called Francois. He had come all the way from. Bonjour. Bonjour. Hello there, Francois. Say, some pile of furs you've got there. Looks like you can do some big trading. Oui, and I need beaucoup supplies. I get very hungry. Well, whenever I hear anybody say that, I always tell them to stock up on swell tasting Quaker puffed wheat and Quaker puffed rice. Are they tasty? Why say you've never tasted anything so delicious. They are the breakfast cereals shot from guns to make them crisp and tender. Bigger and better tasting. There's bang up nut like flavor in every mouthful. Ooh la la. My mouth, it is watering. Well, just wait till you taste those choice premium kernels that are actually exploded up to eight times normal size. But why wait? Wheat, let us eat. Ah, good idea of you fellas and girls too. Just top with milk or thick rich cream and your favorite fruit for a very swell treat. Eat delicious Quaker puff rice and Quaker Puffed Wheat. The breakfast cereals shot from guns. Now to continue. When Mr. Maitland opened the safe in front of Sergeant Preston, he discovered the payroll was missing. He immediately suspected Fred Bertram. Everything in the office was in order and the safe was locked. Sergeant, under the circumstances, it must have been Fred who made off with that cash. That's why he didn't go home last night. They say nothing in here seems to be disturbed. It does look as though he. What's that? What are you looking at here on the floor? Those Stains weren't there when I left early last night, but red ink might have. These are blood stains. Are you sure? Yes. Does Fred usually keep the doors locked when he's here alone at night? Yes, of course. And remember, the doors were still locked when I arrived a few moments ago. Hey. Want to tell you something, Sergeant. About four years ago, I gave Fred a job because I instinctively liked him. Well, he did exceptionally well and advanced steadily. And a year ago, I became office manager. Shortly after, I went to San Francisco on business. At a meeting, Fred's name as office manager was mentioned. Go on. A newspaper friend of mine recalled a young outlaw by that name who had spent a few years in prison. I knew Fred had come from San Francisco, so I checked at police headquarters. They had Fred's picture and report. You told him what you'd found out? No, no, no. I thought of the matter all the way back to the Yukon. Then I decided as long as he had been so trustworthy and faithful while with my company, I'd forget his past. This is the result. Don't lose your faith in Fred yet, Mr. Maitland. And I suggest you say nothing to anyone else about his past until I find him. All right, Sergeant, just as you say. I'd like to look through Fred's desk, if I may. Yes, of course. Yeah, this is it. Pair of gloves. I think King can make use of one of these to get Fred's scent. Here, boy. How do you expect him to help? I hope King will find the Santa outside and follow it. Find him, King. See you later, Mr. Maitland. Outside, the big huskies stopped a moment, sniffing. A faint scent of the man he was to find led toward Fred's cabin. But a stronger scent of the same man led in the other direction, toward the docks. The intelligent dog started after the stronger scent. He's heading toward the docks. Landing King. A short time later, Sergeant Preston and King stood on the dock at the spot where the gang plank of the riverboat usually was placed. All right, boy. You've done your part by letting me know he left on the boat. Boat usually puts in at Bear Landing, 15 miles up river between here and Selkirk. And she stays there several hours. I'll get Blackie. Maybe with hard riding, we'll be able to get to Bear Landing before the boat leaves there. Come on, boy. Preston lost no time in getting his horse, Blackie. Then he set out at a gallop along the river trail with King running alongside. Blackie was well rested and in top condition, so that the 15 miles were traveled in record time. But as the sergeant approached the dock at Bare Landing. He knew he was too late. He heard the distant whistle of the riverboat as it moved up the river away from the town. Too late. Boat's gone. I'll head to the constable's office. This way, King. Get up, Blaggy. Come on, now. A few minutes later, Preston entered the constable's office. Sergeant Preston, what brings you here? Briefly the sergeant told what had happened and of his desire to catch the boat. Then he asked, constable, you know of a motorboat we could use to go after the riverboat? Yes, I do. The dock master has a motorboat of the latest model. With that, we shouldn't have any trouble catching up with the riverboat. Good. There's no time to lose. We'll take King with us. Let's go. Come on, King. In a cabin aboard the riverboat, Fred Bertram lay on one of the bunks, tied hand and foot. His head was crudely bandaged, and he felt weak from the blow he had received the night before. He listened as Bart and Bill discussed the situation. I told you it'd be easy to bring him on board, Bill. Nothing to him. I thought the boat had never leave that last bear landing. We must have stopped there for hours. Yeah. I asked one of the crew about that. Seems they transport lumber from a mill here and take it to Selkirk. I've been wondering, Bart, what are we going to do with Bertram after we get him to Selkirk? I have that all figured out, too. Only he's not going to get to Selkirk. What do you mean? The boat arrives there about dawn tomorrow. So during the night, when nobody's around, we just carry Fred on deck and dump him overboard. No. No. Keep quiet. Don't. Don't kill me, Bart. Let me go. You can get away by the time I get back to Dawson. Bart, what's the use of doing that? The police will be looking for him, not for us. And they'll not believe his story about being forced to go with us. My way is safer. He might convince himself. No. Listen, Bart. Don't kill me. Hell, shut up, you fool. If I weren't tied, you wouldn't do that. Keep your mouth shut. They'll use your bandanna to gag him. And from now on, we're taking no chances till we get rid of them. Sergeant Preston, with the constable at King, moved rapidly along the Yukon river in the wake of the riverboat. They had sighted the steamer about half a mile ahead. As they moved along, the constable was saying, how will we get aboard, Sergeant? We'll Run past the boat until we can be seen from the wheelhouse, and I'll signal them to stop. And let us remember aboard. They'll be able to see where. Police. Since you're after just one fellow, Fred Bertram, perhaps I'd better stay in this boat while you go aboard. Oh, we'll tie up alongside. I have an idea I may need both. You and King should be alongside soon. A short time later in the wheelhouse. The helmsman spoke to the bait on duty. Look, sir. Two Mounties in that motorboat out there. One of them is signaling, seems like. Yes. Yes, he is. Seems to want us to stop. They must want to come aboard. Ring the engine room. Aye, aye, sir. I'll lower the ladder on the port side. Within a short time, Sergeant Preston, King and the constable stood on the deck of the packet. There you are, King. You will. Well, officers, what's this all about? Oh, Sergeant Preston first, they didn't recognize you. We're here to search your boat for crooks, Mr. Ames. Crooks. Well, perhaps if you describe the men you're after, I could help you. I saw the passengers aboard last night. One of them is tall, young and with blond hair. Possible that he may have had some sort of injury. Tall, young, blond hair. Well, the only one who came aboard of that description was a fellow who was brought aboard by two other men. Young man had a head injury. The other said he'd been drinking and been in a brawl. I think those are the men we're after. Where are they? In the stateroom 102. Come on, Constable. Come along, King. Inside stateroom 102. Bart had noticed that the boat had stopped. Wonder why the boat stopped, Bill? You got me. Maybe one of us ought to go on deck and find out. Yeah, go ahead. I'll wait here for you. All right. Hold it, Joe. Get back inside. Monique, what's the idea? Just routine questioning, that's all. Get inside. Come on. Go. Right, Sergeant. Inside. Bart had heard Bill's exclamation. Quickly, he shoved Fred close to the wall. Then, lying on the bunk beside him, Bart pulled a blanket over them both, completely covering the tied and gagged man. As the two Mounties and Bill came inside, Bart raised on one elbow. From appearances, he alone was occupying the bunker. Hey, what's this all about? Can a man get some rest around here? You two men brought a man aboard last night who had a head injury. Where is he? We don't know what you're talking about. Now, wait. Hold on, Bill. Monty must mean that fellow we helped aboard after he Was fighting. Go on. Well, that's all there was to it. He had his own stateroom somewhere on board. Shoved us aside after we came on deck. Said he'd take care of himself. We haven't seen him since. A shaft of light slanted through the small window, but most of the cabin was in semi darkness. The bunk was only vaguely visible in a corner. King, however, caught the scent of the man for whom he searched. He crossed the floor and stood beside the bunk. Hey, what's the matter with this dog? Get him away from this bunk, will you? Just a minute. What is it, King? The intelligent dog suddenly put his front paws on the edge of the bunk. Preston reached out quickly and pulled away. The bank. I'll find out what's the matter. Hey, that's Fred Burcham there against the wall. I'll fix you, mountie. Drop that gun. Go. Heavy blow Preston had given Bart caused him to fall to the floor. But hardened as he was, he again grabbed for his gun. Big husky. King sprang. Take him away. I'll take your gun. Dunging. Easy, boy. Watch him. I have the other one. Comfort, sergeant. I'll take his gun. Here, I have it. I'll release friend. Quickly. The sergeant took away the gag and untied Fred Bertram. Fred briefly told what had happened. When he had finished, Clark snarled, all right, we didn't get away with it. But one satisfaction we have is that Fred will lose his job. You can't keep us from telling about Fred's past. Mr. Maitland knew about Fred's past a year ago. I'm sure. Bart, what you have to say will have no effect on Fred's future with the mining company. Do you mean Mr. Maitland really did know? Yes, Fred. I'm sure when he hears how you resisted these two crooks, he'll know he hasn't made any mistake in trusting you. I'll try. These two crooks and have them ready for the trip back, sergeant. Good. We'll take Fred and the cash back along with them. I arrest both of you in the name of the crown for robbery, armed and attempted murder. Mr. Maitland knows, and I'm mighty glad, sergeant. But I wonder what Bee will say when she finds out. Well, friend, if Mr. Maitland has trust and faith in you, your wife, who loves you, certainly couldn't have less. I'm sure when you tell her, she'll understand. And from now on, you'll never have to worry about anything out of the past. Let's get back to the motorboat, constable. As soon as we get these crooks to jail, this case will be closed. Sergeant Preston will return in just a moment with a word about our next exciting adventure.
