In Again, Out Again is a 1917 American silent comedy film directed by John Emerson and written by Anita Loos.

The film stars Douglas Fairbanks, Arline Pretty, Walter Walker, Arnold Lucy, Helen Greene, Homer Hunt, and Albert Parker.

[2][3] Teddy is young man who drowns his sorrows in strong drink after being jilted by his girl.

His drunkenness gets him thrown in jail, where he falls in love with the jailer's daughter, Janie.

[4] Paul Grant writing for Photoplay, praised the thematic depth of the Emerson-Loos productions and, comparing them with Balzac's Comédie Humaine, stated that, for instance, "while you laugh at In Again, Out Again you laugh also at the Pacifists".
