In Ohio, Truck Hunters Shawn and Vince must track down and deliver a big rig filled with highly classified cargo but mid-route they pick up a mysterious tail. In Texas, a trailer filled with prized cattle is stranded on a track, and Marshall and Korchenko is the trucker's last hope to avert a disastrous collision. In New Jersey, brothers-in-law John and Gene are on the hunt for a hijacked truck full of a million dollars worth of laptops. And in Denver, Animal and Steve discover the perils of trying to deliver a hot load on a tight deadline, as the President's visit locks down the city's traffic grid.

After a hurricane tears through the bayou on opening day of Alligator Season, delaying hunting for five critical days, the swampers turn to family to help make up for lost time. Complicating matters is the arrival of two new hunters who invade the Louisiana swamp from their native Texas and challenge King of the Swamp Troy Landry to a high stakes bet. The shortened season forces everyone to take bigger risks including one hunter who jumps into the water to wrestle a huge live gator that tries to get away.

A cold spell is coming, one that could drive gators into early hibernation, ending the season early. It's a race against time as every gator hunter in the gulf tries to beat the storm.

Welcome to one of America's last frontiers: the wild swamplands of Southern Louisiana, a place whose history stretches back to the 17th century. It's the start of the most exciting--and dangerous--time of year for the swampers, the month-long alligator season. During this 30 day window, swampers make most of their annual income culling gators. Troy Landry, a Cajun whose family goes back three generations is on a mission to hunt down his own personal "white whale," the notorious Big Head, a monster gator he's been after for years. This season, Big Head is threatening the bayou's swimming holes, and must be stopped at all costs. In this episode, we also meet master hunter Junior Edwards and his older son, Willie, as they make their special weapons, specially designed hooks. Another father and son team Trapper Joe L'enfant and his stepson Tommy, also hit the marshlands, where careless Tommy puts his life at risk.

Troy enters one of the most mysterious hunting grounds in the swamp: the ominous cypress groves, in search of a monster gator that's escaped his traps for years. Meanwhile, Junior enters a different kind of foreign territory as he reluctantly hosts the ultimate greenhorn, an Italian leather buyer.

Troy desperately needs to find a new honey hole, a corner of the bayou teeming with gators. He thinks he's found one, but the rights to hunt it will cost him a lot of cash. He takes the risk--but will it pay off? Meanwhile, Joe and Tommy contend with their own greenhorn, a landlubber named Bud. Across the swamp, the Kliebard family shows they don't need the aid of computers or a factory--Mike engineers and builds a perfect aluminum boat from scratch, showing off his Cajun ingenuity and expertise.

Alligators are among the most territorial of animals, and won't hesitate to eat smaller gators that wander into their feeding grounds. Joe and Tommy come up against the notorious cannibal gator they call "Godzilla," when they discover smaller gators on their bait lines scarred with bite marks. Meanwhile, Mike and Troy face different battles. Mike's trying to pass down his vast swamp knowledge to his son T-Mike, while Troy's lines are empty, putting his season in jeopardy.

The Pawn Stars see their spirits soar when a guy brings in a Charles Lindbergh doll from the 1920s. Will the appeal of this rare toy fly over Rick's head, or will he take the pilot's seat and make a deal? Then, the shop becomes a real freak show when a guy brings in an antique poster advertising a sword swallowing act. Will Rick cough up the cash for this piece of show biz history, or will the asking price be too hard to swallow? And later, a guy comes in with a harmonica that once belonged to Aerosmith front man Steven Tyler. Played by Tyler, can they make a deal with some "Sweet Emotion," or will they tell the customer to "Walk This Way" right out of the shop?

Things get surreal for the Pawn Stars when the guys check out an original painting by Salvador Dali. Known for his eccentric artwork, is this just too strange for the shop? Then, Chumlee is on the hunt for deals when he checks out a Silent Scope sniper arcade game. Can he win the negotiation with a kill shot, or will he shoot himself in the foot? And later, Rick and the Old Man check out a French suit of armor. Dating back to the time of Napoleon, will the deal sparkle in the setting sun or rust away before their visored eyes?

Float on air with the Pawn Stars when the guys check out a hovercraft. Originally designed for the 2000 Olympic ceremonies, will it have them walking on water or drowning in sorrow?

Can a trip to the nutritionist change his unhealthy ways?

Fly high and aim low with the Pawn Stars as they check out a Japanese machine gun camera. Used to train fighter pilots during WWII, will the guys have the skills to keep this deal on target? Then, Chumlee and Corey take a look at some sketches drawn by Spider-Man creator Stan Lee. Known as a writer, but never an artist, are they legit, or a web of lies? And later, Rick and the Old Man eye a $1,000 Federal Reserve note from 1918. Will they fork over a stack of hundreds, or is this G note past its prime?

The Pawn Stars start a cola war when a 1950 s Pepsi Machine pops into the shop. An incredibly rare unit painted "Coke red" instead of "Pepsi blue," is this mysterious machine worth big bucks, or will the deal go flat? Then, a guy brings a copy of John Milton s "Paradise Lost." The first edition with engraved illustrations by Gustave Dor , has Rick found the holy grail of literature? And later, the guys challenge each other to a high stakes game of mini-golf. With the loser having to wash everyone else s car, how far will they go to win?

Make it rain with the Pawn Stars, when a collection of paper money from the Republic of Texas comes into the shop. Printed when Texas was an independent country, can Rick and the Old Man cash in on this deal, or is it not worth a dime? Then, it's a real life shoot-out when the guys compete in an "old vs. new" rifle shooting competition. Can Rick keep his antique Winchester on target and blast out a win, or will some modern, high-power weapons have him outgunned? And later, Rick and the Old Man are presented with a pair of printing plates for a movie poster. From the controversial 1943 film "The Outlaw," do the guys rustle up some dough for this classic Hollywood item or just put it out to pasture.
