Synopsis

Edward Scissorhands is a misunderstood soul - kind at heart and craving love but cursed with having scissors for hands after his inventor failed to give him a proper human pair. After the inventor dies and he finds himself in a tight-knit small town, he is taken in by Avon lady Peg and finds himself attracted to her daughter, Kim. Edward is finally appreciated after locals realise his talent for hedge trimming and hair cutting, but his acceptance short lived after an accident and his new found "friends" turn their back on this misfit.
