Keaton short comes up short.
18 November 2020
One of seven shorts Buster Keaton released in 1922, most of the action takes place at the village smithy's where Buster finds himself bullied by the brutish proprietor. When the owner is arrested and carted off to jail Buster is left to his own devices.

One of Keaton's minor shorts with not enough for him to do as he fits a horse for shoes and clumsily dismantles a flashy car. The horsing around along with a giant magnetic horseshoe gag wear thin quickly while the grease laden hands of Buster doing damage as a running gag, stumbles along. He does get the girl in the end but with fewer laughs than usual to get there. The Blacksmith Mediocre Buster.
