Go undercover with the Pawn Stars when a banner from the WWII secret airborne division, The Flying Tigers, infiltrates the shop. Will Rick make a covert deal or will the mission be compromised? Then, things get messy when a 1980s Ooze-It toy seeps in. Will Chum squeeze out a good price or will it slip through his fingers? And later, Rick is muted by an unsigned illustration from the silent film era. Will he entertain a sale or will he be at a loss for words?
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.
