Ruby's Opal

This low-budget, romantic comedy is about the hard-working Ruby who wins Power ball. She works in a meat factory in Bundaberg, Queensland, Australia. Her co-workers claim shares in the prize money because they all chipped in for the entry ticket that won. Ruby figured she owned the prize as most of the co-workers still owed her for the ticket. The court saw it all differently.
So, Ruby took off to seek her fortune on The Gold Coast, Queensland. Here, she managed to lose everything to a scoundrel scammer. So, humiliated and broke, she heads to the outback opal fields of Australia, to make her fortune, again. And start her life over, again. By now she has hardened up and is done with men. She is on a mission to get enough to set herself up in a nice Bed and Breakfast on the coast, somewhere.

But while opal mining, she becomes best friends with Stanley. He’s a well-meaning, dope-dealing chopper pilot. Stanley’s excellent gardening skills have developed a crop that upsets the local crime boss. Stanley is stealing all his customers. Stanley must fly back to Sydney to escape the local crime boss. After Stanley has left, Ruby upsets a couple of old-school opal miners. She has been digging into their claim, maps are hard to read thirty meters underground. They are very angry and she must take off in a hurry too. She heads for Sydney and her best friend Stanley, he’ll put her up for a little while.

Since coming to Sydney Stanley has lost his chopper. He missed a few repayments on the loan while in the opal fields. It was repossessed as soon as he got into Sydney, looking for charter work. However, Ruby soon turns up and they focus on making a heap of fast cash. While Ruby and Stanley try every "get rich quick" option they can find, all the people from their past are tracking them down. The pair duck and weave the bad guys while going for one last prize. They stumble across an online competition for the craziest stunt ever. The prize is a million dollars in cryptocurrency.

To get the chopper back and fly an amazing crazy stunt over the Sydney Harbour Bridge, they need to get all the people chasing them off their tails ASAP. They decide to set up all the bad guys in a police raid, while they are off winning the crazy stunt competition. Of course, they lose everything when their million-dollar cryptocurrency prize money, dives in value overnight, as crypto often does.
And then, back at square one, despite all their resistance, the walls finally come down, and they hit the jackpot. They fall in love. Also, Ruby has been hiding a huge opal she dug up in the mines, for a rainy day.

It’s a happily-ever-after story about two best friends who overcome the odds to make their dreams come true.
