During Professor Henry Crawford's testing, the experiment goes awry, resulting in a sort of flying rubber, called Flubber. The girlfriend, Ellen Whitley, does not share Henry's enthusiasm for his new substance.
Henry Crawford is the titular absent-minded professor busy at work in his laboratory. He has a girlfriend, but she is getting frustrated at his repeatedly missing their dates and spending more time with his experiments than with her. One day, Prof. Crawford makes an incredible discovery a form of rubber that defies gravity with each bounce, which he names Flubber. Hopefully, with this invention Crawford can prove to his love that he's not just a hopeless loser stuck doing dead-end research.—Jean-Marc Rocher <rocher@fiberbit.net>
