Her Weight In Gold

Andy is a rich gold miner who wants to marry Rita, a girl who dances in a saloon. He promises to give her gold equal to what she weighs. The gold ends up being worth $30,000 (since gold costs $30 per ounce, Rita only weighs about 62.5 pounds!). But then Rita runs away and vanishes without a trace!

Challenge of the Yukon is an American radio adventure series that began on Detroit's WXYZ and is an example of a Northern genre story. The series was first heard on January 3, 1939. The title changed from Challenge of the Yukon to Sergeant Preston of the Yukon in September 1950, and that title was retained through the end of the series and into a television adaptation.
