The Yankee Consul is a 1924 American black-and-white silent comedy film directed by James W. Horne and written by Raymond Cannon.

[1] With a screen adaptation by Lewis Milestone and Raymond Griffith, the film is based upon the 1903 comic opera The Yankee Consul by Alfred G. Robyn and Henry Martyn Blossom.

Sent to a departing steamship to bring off the trunks of the consul to Rio de Janeiro, he finds himself on the high seas with Morrell going to Brazil.

Ainsworth goes to the castle where the young woman is restrained, gets into a fight, frees Margarita, and chases the villains back to the consulate.

The navy Admiral (Eric Mayne) arrives with the real Yankee consul to reveal that the entire set of events was a prank played on Ainsworth by his friends to get him to work.
