Highlights
Susan catches her fiancé, Steven, cheating with her friend two days before their wedding. Determined not to marry him, despite her parents' financial investment, she impulsively asks a stranger, Ajit, at City Hall to marry her for $100,000.
Susan and Ajit get married at City Hall. When she confronts her parents, they are furious and insist she marry Steven, threatening to cut her off financially if she doesn't. Ajit steps in, asserting his role as her husband and offering to support her.
Susan leaves her parents' home with Ajit. They find themselves without a place to stay, and Ajit suggests they sell crystal peaches from his truck to pay for a hotel. Susan observes Ajit's kindness and considers the possibility of falling in love with him.
Ajit mysteriously leaves Susan alone, causing her to feel abandoned. Steven reappears, trying to convince Susan to return to him, painting Ajit as a penniless 'loader'. Susan, remembering Ajit's words about freedom, refuses to go with Steven. Ajit returns, revealing he is not a 'loader' but a restaurant owner, and that he was searching for the perfect diamond for Susan.
