The Legend of Billie Jean is a 1985 American drama film, directed by Matthew Robbins. Billie Jean Davy , a Corpus Christi, Texas high school girl, rides with her younger brother, Binx , on a Honda Elite to a local lake to enjoy a day of swimming and relaxation. A group of teenage boys, led by Hubie Pyatt , a school rival of Binx, start trouble with them, but Billie Jean humiliates Hubie and they get away. Later at the lake, Billie Jean tells Binx about Vermont, and Binx expresses a desire to go there. During their conversation about travelling there, Hubie and his friends arrive, apparently... looking to settle a score with Binx. They find Binx's scooter and steal it. Billie Jean, and her friends Putter and Ophelia go to the police about the scooter. They speak to Detective Ringwald about it, but he doesn't take them seriously. He assumes it's just a harmless squabble between some kids. When Binx goes to get his scooter back on his own, he comes home severely beaten, with his scooter trashed. Billie Jean, Binx, and Ophelia go to Mr. Pyatt's shop to get the money to repair the scooter.
