Tame the beast with the Pawn Stars when Rick checks out some items signed by "Grizzly Adams" actor Dan Haggerty. Can this TV icon bear a bargain, or will the asking price be too wild? Then, a piece of flag carried by Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders flies into the shop. Will Corey and Rick let this piece of presidential history pass them by, or are they facing an uphill battle? And later, Chumlee buys an old foot oscillator and can't help but try it out. Will he get away with a mid-shift foot massage?.
Pawn Stars is filmed in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it chronicles the daily activities at the World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop, a 24-hour family business operated by patriarch Richard Harrison (or "The Old Man"), his son Rick Harrison (who opened the shop with his father in 1988), Rick's son Corey (who has worked there since childhood), and Corey's childhood friend, Austin "Chumlee" Russell.
The series depicts the staff's interactions with customers, who bring in a variety of artifacts to sell or pawn and who are shown haggling over the price and discussing its historical background, with narration provided by the Harrisons and occasionally Chumlee. The series also follows the interpersonal conflicts among the cast.
Numerous local experts in a variety of areas also regularly appear to appraise the items being sold or pawned.
