The Absent-Minded Professor

Directed by Robert Stevenson

With Fred MacMurray, Nancy Olson, Keenan Wynn, Tommy Kirk and Leon Ames

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.
