Katie, a playful, smart aleck three-year-old gorilla has been taught to communicate through sign language. Rick is a fourteen-year-old troublemaker who befriends the gorilla with M&M’s and finger paintings. But when Katie’s mean-spirited owner locks her in a cage at his flea market, Rick has no choice but to spring Katie from her confines and hit the road for Canada.
