Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Remember that scientist that was trying to perfect a matter transportation machine but got fused with a fly when one of the little critters got into the transporter with him? Well, this story is about three of his descendants (a son, Henri Delambre, played by Brian Donlevy and two grandsons). Seems the son wants to continue and perfect the machine while his two sons want to get out of the scientist business and live "normal" lives. The oldest son, Martin, decides to take a wife (who just happens to have escaped from a mental hospital after her parents died). Martin's father is not happy with this intrusion but finally gives in because he understands him son's needs. They all try to be a happy family until humans used in botched experiments are discovered by the new bride and the police nearly discover the lab while looking for Martin's wife. Everyone tries to get out of there via the transporter but things just don't go according to plan .

Did You Know?
| Trivia | This film was rarely seen for many years after its original release in 1965. As a result of this, it was the only one of the original "Fly" films that never received a VHS or LaserDisc release. It did not even receive a home video premiere at all until 2007, when it was released on DVD for the first time ever, in "The Fly Collection", a 4-disc box set that contained both it and the previous two films in the trilogy, The Fly (1958) and Return of the Fly (1959), as well as a special features DVD.

| Goofs | In the film, during a conversation about the Delambre family legacy, a photograph is shown of the Fly from the film Return of the Fly (1959). It is said that the Fly in the photograph is Andre Delambre (David Hedison) from The Fly (1958), but the photograph is actually of Philippe Delambre (Brett Halsey), the son of Andre, from Return of the Fly (1959). There were no photographs taken of the Fly by anyone in either of the previous two films in the original "Fly" trilogy, so this photograph should not even exist in this one, the third and final film in it.
