All Billie Jean wanted was $608 from the boy who broke her brother's scooter. But when you come from a small town in Texas, justice is something you have to win for yourself. Billie Jean didn't mean to become a fugitive. She'd never heard of Joan Of Arc. But her fight for justice raised an army of kids strong enough to take on the law and the national media. Who knew Billie Jean and Co. were only armed with guns from a toy store? Or that hostage Lloyd tied himself up to be with the gang? Lloyd said: "In a crazy world, you've got to be crazier than they are". And that's when Billie Jean became a legend...
