Buster's final movie was A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, not this one, as one reviewer erroneously stated.
Plot: Amateur journalist Buster covers a story about construction site safety regulations and gets first-hand experience in the process.
Is it good? If you're not a Keaton fan (I am) you'll likely not think so. It's an industrial movie so by design it's less funny and more instructional. The idea was to get the safety concept down using some physical and other humor.
As such, the movie needs to be judged differently. It appears to be filmed at a real high-rise construction site. Buster wanders around experiencing non-safe things and silently telling others to be careful.
Following this short, Buster made A Funny Thing and by all accounts his health had deteriorated where he had to take many breaks because he could barely breathe. None of that is present in this movie. He's agile and alert for a man his age.
