Summary
An L.A. insurance detective is increasingly attracted to a girl he meets on an airplane trip, even though he sees her as a chiseler. She makes it clear that her tastes are too expensive for him, so he sets about getting a lot of money quickly, if illegally. Perhaps too late, she realizes she is content with him just the way he is
