Homer Comes Home is a 1920 American silent comedy drama film directed by Jerome Storm and written by Alexander Hull and Agnes Christine Johnston. The film stars Charles Ray, Otto Hoffman, Priscilla Bonner, Ralph McCullough, Walter Higby, John Elliott, and Harry Hyde.

Homer Cavender is regarded as a failure by the people in his hometown, because he has been fired from just about every job.

The only person sorry to see him go is Rachel Prouty, daughter of one of the town's leading citizens. He goes to work as a clerk for Bailly and Kort.

Two years after he started working, Homer finds he is not progressing rapidly enough. He has an idea of creating a factory in his hometown. But the venture requires money to get off the ground. His bosses refuses to finance the venture. However, Homer has managed to save $300. With his cash, he returns home on the Lightning Express, which carries only important people.

The whole town turns out to see him return, sporting his new suit. Homer takes the best room at a local hotel. He hires the local taxi for two weeks. He spends money recklessly. He wants to propose to Rachel, but is afraid to let her know he really has no money. Then he secures the capital to carry out his venture by offering the citizens stock in the enterprise. But Arthur Machim, a jealous rival of Homer's finds out that he is only a clerk, and spreads the news that Homer is dishonest. When Homer fails to appear at work after receiving the financial backing, it appears to everyone that Machim is correct.

Then Homer's venture comes to pass, and he is named the boss of his factory. In so doing, he also wins the hand of Rachel.
