It was the creation of Fran Striker and George W. Trendle, the same men who originated \u003ci\u003eThe Lone Ranger\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Green Hornet\u003c\/i\u003e. Frank Preston originally joined the Mounties to track down his father's killer, and stayed on to foil fur thieves, claim jumpers, and murderers with his faithful Alaskan Malamute, King. The show was something of an early multimedia sensation, spawning books, comics, and other ancillary merchandise, so it was inevitable that Sergeant Preston would make the jump to television. On TV, Preston was portrayed by actor Richard Simmons, who had previously played a Mountie in Republic's \u003ci\u003eKing of the Royal Mounted\u003c\/i\u003e (1940). The show was narrated by Vic Perrin, famous as \"The Control Voice\" on \u003ci\u003eThe Outer Limits\u003c\/i\u003e (1963-1965). Shot in color, the television version proved just as popular as the radio program, lasting three seasons on CBS. Like on radio, Sergeant Preston had unique tie-ins courtesy of its sponsor, Quaker Oats. In 1955, as part of a promotion for the show, Quaker cereal boxes actually contained an authentic deed entitling children to an inch of land in the Yukon!\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKAGWAY SECRET:\u003c\/b\u003e Sergeant Preston uncovers a gold smuggling ring in Skagway, a notorious nest of crooks and convicts.
