Miss Lulu Bett is a 1921 American silent comedy drama film based on a 1920 play and bestselling novel of the same name by Zona Gale.

As described in a film magazine,[3] Lulu Bett (Wilson) is a slave in the home of her married half-sister Ina Deacon (Van Buren).

Her persecution is redoubled upon her return, but she received courage after telling her story to the town schoolmaster Neil Cornish (Sills), who falls in love with her.

When the story was adopted as a play, two endings were written; one where Lulu decides to undertake adventures on her own, which won Gale the Pulitzer Prize, and another where Neil shows up in the nick of time and convinces her to stay with him.

In accordance with Gale's original ending depicting female independence, she personally advocated heavily for women's rights and was an ardent supporter of many liberal causes of her time.
