Ricky steals motorcycles and sells them. Ricky claims to be 20 but looks younger. Ricky is a girl but looks like a boy and relentlessly exercises the freedom of action and lifestyle she sees young guys enjoying. Although she encounters people willing to help her, her need for independence usually forces her back out on her own.
