The Adorable Cheat is a 1928 silent film starring Lila Lee and distributed by an independent film company, Chesterfield Motion Pictures.

It was directed by Burton L. King with a copy being long held by The Library of Congress.

[1][2][3] The daughter of a wealthy industrialist wants to take over the company when her father retires, but the father—an old-fashioned sort who doesn't believe that "girls" belong in business—is planning on leaving the company to her wastrel playboy brother.

She brings the young man home to meet her folks, but during the evening the family safe is robbed, and all signs point to her new boyfriend.
