An elderly woman tells an ostensibly true story to her granddaughter of a young man named Edward with scissors for hands, the creation of an inventor. The inventor was inspired to make an artificial man due to the anthropomorphic appearance of his other inventions, giving him his unusual hands because actual hands are very difficult to create. He raised Edward as his son and tutored him in various subjects, but had a heart attack and died while in the act of revealing a pair of real hands to Edward, leaving him doomed to be “unfinished” forever. Many years after, local Avon saleswoman Peg Boggs, after failing to make profits in her suburban neighborhood, visits a Gothic mansion on a hill. There, she finds Edward, and convinces him to let her take him in. Edward befriends Peg’s young son Kevin, her husband Bill and, after an initial misstep, their teenage daughter Kim.
Peg’s neighbours become thrilled at Edward’s masterful skills at hedge clipping and haircutting. However, two of the townspeople, a religious fanatic named Esmeralda and Kim’s jock boyfriend Jim, dislike him immediately. Joyce, a promiscuous neighbor, suggests that Edward open a haircutting salon with her. While examining a proposed site, she attempts to seduce him, confusing Edward, who escapes the room in a state of panic. Edward attempts to bring up the subject of her actions while the family is having dinner, but no one reacts to the news.
Wanting money for a van, Jim takes advantage of Edward’s ability to pick locks and breaks into his father’s house. The burglar alarm sounds but everybody except Edward escapes, despite Kim’s angry insistence that they return for him. Edward is arrested, but released when a psychological examination reveals that his isolation allowed him to live without a traditional sense of ethics. The arresting officer, Allen, befriends the timid Edward, sensing his intrinsic goodness. Meanwhile, infuriated by Edward’s rejection, Joyce gets revenge on Edward by claiming that he tried to rape her. This, added to the “break-in”, causes many of the neighbours to question his personality. During Christmas, Edward is feared by almost everyone around him except the Boggs family, making him and the family outcasts. Read more
