Minnie is a 1922 American silent comedy film starring Leatrice Joy and co-directed by Marshall Neilan and Frank Urson.
As described in a film publication, Minnie (Joy),[2] the homeliest girl in town, is devoted to her father (Barnum), a discouraged inventor who has been working on a wireless device.
Subject to the sneers of her neighbors, Minnie "invents" a lover and sends herself letters and flowers.
After further disappointments in the invention, Minnie's stepmother decides to leave her father.
At a celebration, the stepsister and townspeople are surprised when a new couple appear, which turn out to be the former reporter and his lovely wife Minnie.
