Lovejoy is a trickster, a swindling art and antiques dealer who seems to get caught up in devious deals and "get rich quick" schemes. But you can't help liking Lovejoy, who has a talent for finding hidden treasures. When he's not out for himself, he uses his skills as a con man to help the less fortunate and less sneaky.
