The Cinderella Man is a 1917 American silent comedy film directed by George Loane Tucker and starring Mae Marsh, Tom Moore and Alec B.

When Marjorie Caner returns from abroad, she is quite lonely in her millionaire father's big house.

Learning that a young poet, Anthony Quintard, is living in poverty next door while working on the libretto of a great opera, she skips across the roofs and brings him a Christmas banquet.

The poet sees Marjorie, and knowing that he detests wealth, she pretends to be the secretary of the Caner family.

Morris Caner, mellowed under his daughter's tutelage, comes to the rescue by feigning financial ruin, and manages to reconcile the two lovers.
