The first story takes us to Fort Smith, Arkansas, where the legendary judge Isaac Parker held court in the late 1800s. Parker was famous for his harsh, no-nonsense approach to the law, and his courtroom was the site of many executions. The artifact in question is a wooden desk that Parker used in his chamber, and which appears to be riddled with bullet holes. As the host investigates the desk, he learns about some of the most notorious criminals to face Parker's justice, including the notorious outlaw Belle Starr.
The second story takes us to the historic city of Savannah, Georgia, where a unique artifact tells a tale of espionage and intrigue during World War II. The artifact is a small, innocuous-looking piece of paper with an unusual texture, which is revealed to be a piece of microfilm. The film contains coded messages sent by a spy who was operating in Savannah during the war, and the host takes us on a journey through the clues left behind by the spy, including a coded message hidden in plain sight at a local park.
Next, the show travels to Virginia to explore an artifact that tells a tale of piracy and adventure on the high seas. The artifact is a simple-looking wooden chest, but it holds a secret - it was once the treasure chest of the pirate Blackbeard. The host reveals the story of Blackbeard's exploits in the waters off Virginia, including his notorious ship, the Queen Anne's Revenge, which terrorized sailors and coastal communities alike.
Moving on, the show takes us to a small town in Colorado, where an unusual artifact is on display in a local museum. The artifact is a large, intricately carved wooden wheel, which was found buried in a nearby field. The host investigates the origins of the wheel, and discovers that it is a Native American artifact dating back centuries, with mysterious patterns and symbols that have yet to be fully deciphered.
Finally, the show takes us to the iconic city of New York, where an artifact reveals a little-known piece of history about one of the city's most famous landmarks. The artifact is a small plaque that marks the location of a secret room hidden inside the Statue of Liberty. The room was used by the statue's builder, Frederic Bartholdi, as a private office and workshop during the statue's construction. The host delves into the history of the statue, revealing the challenges faced by Bartholdi and his team as they built one of the world's most beloved monuments.
