plot -
Professor Ned Brainard's discovery of Flubber has not quite brought him or his college the riches he thought.
 
The Pentagon has declared his discovery "top secret" and the IRS has slapped him with a huge tax bill, even though he has yet to receive any money from his invention. Ned thinks he may have found the solution in the form of "Flubbergas", (the "son" of Flubber) which can actually change the weather. His wife Betsy becomes fed up with all the stress and files for divorce, and the professor's old rival (Professor Shelby) starts trying to woo her again.
 
Brainard's experiments with a ray projector device are making it rain inside people's houses all over town. When Brainard feels threatened by Professor Shelby's attentions towards his wife, Brainard uses it to make it rain insides Shelby's car, complete with thunder and lightning, to frighten the man, causing his car to crash right into the same police car that he wrecked in "Absent Minded Professor"...
