Plot summary
Sis, a laundress, is neither beautiful nor clever, but she still wishes to attract a boyfriend. When attractive Edith Van inadvertently hides her love-letter in the wrong pocket, Sis finds it and, thinking it is for her, goes to meet the lover. The mistake is soon exposed and Edith ridicules Sis. Sis meets truck driver Jerry when he rescues her from a purse-snatcher. Because of his extreme shyness, she thinks he has no interest in her. After taking in the orphaned Buddy, Sis loses her job. Although she saves Buddy from a fire, welfare workers remove him from her care. In the end, Sis, Jerry, and Buddy are united as a family.

Release
Simple Sis was released June 11, 1927, the second of four Warner Bros. feature films released that month.
Variety summed up the production as "colorless" and "of negligible entertainment or box office value". The reviewer for Motion Picture News called it "hokum" and thought it came across as depressing rather than comedic. In the brief Photoplay review, audiences were warned of boredom and Fazenda was deemed "worthy of better stories".
