The auction takes place in the old Chisholm Trail city of Fort Worth. Englishman David Kay returns and gets chippy with the competition. Victor finds spy equipment, while Ricky and Bubba go for something large and dangerous, and Mary and her brother Blom try not to get burned. With some unusual items up for bidding, the buyers are forced to go to unusual lengths, and an old-fashioned Texas standoff could be on the dance card.
The auction action goes down in the east Texas town of Longview. Lesa and Jerry play their home-field advantage and lock horns with the new team of Jenny and Mary. "Man in Black" Rudy Castro takes aim at an unusual weapon. Ricky and Bubba, seeking to expand their warehouse, reckon with more than they can handle. Out in Longview, there may be something for everyone--if their competition lets them get it.
The storage warriors journey back to Ft. Worth, Texas to a facility known for its deceptively bad looking lockers. Lesa Lewis tries to find value in an old cookie jar. Victor Rjesnjansky becomes a New York Yankee in King Arthur's court. And Moe Prigoff hopes for a high score after missing Walt's auction. Looks can be deceiving, as the worst-looking locker delivers the biggest payout.
