The Mysterious Miss Terry is a 1917 American silent drama film produced by Famous Players–Lasky and distributed through Paramount Pictures.

The film stars Billie Burke, who at the time was a famous stage actress, married to Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr.

[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] a fascinating young heiress (Burke) takes rooms at a cheap boarding house and assumes the name Miss Terry.

As a test of the bravery of one of the young men, she arranges for two others to dress as burglars and break into the store at night when she and Gordon True (Meighan) are there.

Miss Terry nurses the boy back to health, arranges to have his book published, and assists the other male boarders to better themselves.
