In the episode "The Fast and the Curious" of Storage Wars season 3, the bidders are back on a hunt for hidden treasures. The episode begins with the competitors arriving at a storage facility in Westminster, California, ready to bid on abandoned storage lockers hoping to strike gold. The buyers are all excited and eager to find rare items that they can potentially sell for a profit.

The first unit up for auction contains a vintage Coca-Cola sign, which immediately catches the attention of the bidders. The sign is in good condition and appeals to all the buyers who believe that it could bring in a decent price. The next locker contains car parts and tools, which intrigues Barry Weiss, as he is an avid collector of automobile memorabilia.

The third unit up for auction contains a vast collection of racing memorabilia, which excites Darrell and Brandon Sheets. They are confident that they can sell the items at a high price since the racing community is always looking for rare and historical pieces of history. The fourth locker has an interesting surprise for the buyers; it has an old-fashioned scooter with a sidecar. The buyers are all fascinated by the unique piece of history and are excited to see how much they can sell it for.

The bidding starts on the first unit, and the price quickly goes up to over six thousand dollars. In the end, it is won by Darrell and Brandon Sheets. The second unit goes for a modest price, and it is won by Jarrod and Brandi. The third locker sparks a bidding war between the buyers, but in the end, Darrell and Brandon Sheets win it for a high price. The fourth locker also causes a commotion among the buyers, but it is ultimately won by Barry.

After winning the bids, the buyers race to their units to inspect their newfound treasures. Darrell and Brandon Sheets find a rare driving suit from the '70s worth thousands of dollars and a collection of vintage racing helmets. Jarrod and Brandi find hidden designer bags and expensive clothes. Barry discovers an old-fashioned bicycle and a collection of vintage tools. The scooter with the sidecar surprises Dave Hester, who finds out it is worth a lot more than he initially thought.

As the buyers start to put their finds up for sale, they encounter some obstacles. Jarrod and Brandi find out that their designer bags are not genuine, and the clothes are not worth as much as they thought. Barry runs into trouble finding a buyer for his bicycle, as it is not in high demand. Darrell and Brandon Sheets also struggle to find buyers for their racing memorabilia, as the market for such items is limited.

The episode ends with the buyers selling their items at auctions, swap meets, and antique stores, hoping to make a profit. Dave Hester ends up getting the most return on his investment, thanks to the little scooter in the sidecar. Despite the challenges they faced, the buyers are all pleased with their purchases and proud of themselves for taking a risk and finding gems hidden within storage lockers.
