Description

Professor McQuark, a scientist, creates an invention called the Oojamaflip and enters it in the town's Science Fair. When she arrives, the Oojamaflip is too large to fit through the door of the venue. Despite this setback, the invention attracts the attention of children at the fair, and Professor McQuark ultimately receives a special award.
