Edward Scissorhands is a modern day fairy tale which tells the story of Edward: the man created by an inventor who died before finishing him and left him with scissors where he should have hands. One day when the local "Avon" representative calls at the historic mansion where Edward has been living alone, she takes him home to stay with her family. He has to adapt to the new life and environment that he isn't used to. Soon he shows a talent in cutting hair and hedges, and wins everybody's heart especially the Avon representative's daughter. But life isn't always so sweet.  Innocence is what he knows. Beauty is what she sees.
