The Innocence of Lizette is a 1916 American silent comedy-drama film directed by James Kirkwood and starring Mary Miles Minter.

[2][3] As described in film magazines,[4][5][6] Lizette (Minter), is a young girl who is left without money or family when her grandfather dies.

One day Faure is called away on business, and Lizette takes the opportunity to visit Granny Page and Paul for a while.

Lizette does not understand the implications of the question, but she supposes that babies must have fathers as well as mothers, and so names the first man that comes into her head: Dan Nye.

At the same time, the baby's real mother arrives, seeking her child, along with Paul, who is furious with Nye for what he believes he has done to Lizette.
