Miss Nobody is a 1926 American silent drama film produced and distributed by First National Pictures and directed by Lambert Hillyer. The film is based on a short story by Tiffany Wells titled "Shebo"; the likely feminine pronunciation of hobo. The stars of the film were Anna Q. Nilsson and Walter Pidgeon, then in an early role in his career. The plot of this film bears a striking resemblance to Beggars of Life, made two years later at Paramount.

Plot

The father of an heiress dies broke leaving her destitute without inheritance. She falls in with a group of hobos, and she travels incognito cross country dressed as a man.
