Cruise of the Jasper B is a 1926 American silent action comedy film produced by Cecil B. DeMille and directed by James W. Horne.
[1][2][3] The film stars actor Rod La Rocque as 'Jerry Cleggert', a good-natured descendant of an 18th-century pirate who resides aboard the rickety ship Jasper B. Cleggert is informed that in order to inherit a large inheritance, he must marry on his twenty-fifth birthday – otherwise he would relinquish all claims to his impending fortune.
Jerry soon meets his ideal would-be bride, Agatha Fairhaven (Mildred Harris), and the two immediately fall in love.
The courting couple suffer a series of mishaps on the way to altar; they are waylaid en route by a trio of bandits, escape from a runaway taxi cab, and outrun a mob of unscrupulous state authorities.
The weary couple finally manage to wed just before the deadline on board the Jasper B and Cleggert inherits his family fortune.
