If you go into Farewell to the Master expecting The Day the Earth Stood Still, you may be let down. There are considerable differences between each although there is enough to see the skeleton of the film within the story. The main character is a reporter, Klaatu is dead for most story, Bobby and Helen are no where to found, and neither is the famous phrase "Klaatu barada nikto." Instead, this is a quick tale of a reporter looking for a scoop on the giant time-travelling robot called Gnut with a bit of a twist at the end that went against the conventions of the time.
