Synopses for Son of Flubber (1963)
1.
Proving that sequels rarely measure up, Son of Flubber reunites cast, director (Robert Stevenson), studio (Disney), and concept (an eccentric inventor, played by Fred MacMurray, makes odd products with hilarious side effects), and still isn't as good as its predecessor, The Absent Minded Professor. MacMurray and company turn their attention to some new inventions, including flubber gas and dry rain, and while there's plenty of comedy to be had, the film is finally spotty and wears out its welcome. On the plus side, Paul Lynde is a funny addition to this follow-up. --Tom Keogh

This Disney sequel invites viewers back into the lab for more of the antics of "The Absent-Minded Professor."
Ned Brainard has already invented "flubber," a gravity-
defying goo that makes objects float. When the bureaucratic government drags its feet in funding flubber further, Ned returns to his lab and concocts from scratch a gaseous form of his earlier creation that can create dry rain.
One thing leads to another, and soon his college's fledgling football team has begged Ned for some flubber to use in its big game, and he agrees. Before long, the running back has a never-before-seen play -- in which he rushes past his rival's defensive linemen... and over their helmets!
