Ride along with the Pawn Stars when a 1951 Willys Wagon pulls into the shop. Will Rick kick the deal into high gear or will he fall off the wagon? Then, Rick takes a stab at a pair of 19th Century European swords. Will he keep his edge or will the deal be cut short? And later, when the guys realize Rick hasn't shown up for work, do they send out a search party or throw their own?
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.
