The Great Jasper is a romantic drama which opens in the early days of the 20th century when Jasper Horn is introduced as a lively Irish driver of a New York City horse-drawn street car. Although Jasper is married and has a baby son, he has an affair with his boss's wife. Ten years later the boss discovers the true father of the boy he thought was his son, and fires Jasper. Jasper leaves his wife and child and becomes a boardwalk fortune-teller in Atlantic City, who begins to call himself The Great Jasper. Another 15 years pass and we discover that one of Jasper's sons has unfortunately become similar in behavior to Jasper.
