Bumbling professor Ned Brainard accidentally invents flying rubber, or "Flubber", an incredible material that gains energy every time it strikes a hard surface. It allows for the invention of shoes that can allow jumps of amazing heights and enables a modified Model-T to fly. Unfortunately, no one is interested in the material except for Alonzo Hawk, a corrupt businessman who wants to steal the material for himself.
Editor's Verdict
"The plot centers entirely around the invention of 'Flubber' and the conflict with the villain. There is no indication that the setting, plot events, themes, iconography, or resolution are tied to the Christmas season in any meaningful way."
