Plot – Peggy Boggs, a cosmetics door-to-door saleswoman in search for clients, knocks at the door of a sinister Gothic castle at the edge of the residential area where she lives. A strange young man lives here. He is pale and frightened and has shears instead of hands. He lives alone after the sudden death of his inventor-father, who died before being able to attach Edward's hands, so his imperfection severely affects him. Peggy, moved to pity, takes him home to live with her family: her husband Bill, teenage son Kevin and daughter Kim. The strange guest immediately arouses curiosity among Peggy's gossipy friends. They fight over him, morbidly attracted to him by his "diversity" and enthusiastic about the wonderful work that Edward is able to do with his scissors like shape trees and bushes into original human or animal forms, shave dogs and create elegant hairstyles for the ladies.
