Story:

Peg Boggs, an Avon employee, finds a teenage boy at the top of their town in an abandoned castle. He was dressed in black, and had a scratched and scared, white, pale face. He has scissors for hands. His name is Edward Scissorhands. She brings him home, testing creams and make-up's from Avon on his scars and scratches. Very quiet, and showing a lot of his emotion in his eyes, he tries to adapt to the town. He meets Kimberly Bogg's, and falls in love(but doesn't know it) almost instantly. All the neighbors like Edward a lot, except Marge. She think's he came straight from Satan.Throught the movie, Edward remember's things that has happened to him. When he see's a can-opener turning, he remembers his inventor's machinery. Well, Kim's boyfriend, Jim, see's that Edward's scissor-hands can pick locks. He has Kim ask him to break into a room in Jim's house, so he could sell the stuff in it and get a new van. Edward does it, and gets caught. The police let him go though, because they think from all the years of isolation he couldn't tell right from wrong. Kim asks him if he knew it was Jim's house. He said, "Yes, I knew it was his house." "Then why'd you do it?" Kim asks. "Because you asked me to," he replied. That's when Kim began to fall in love with Edward, and hate Jim. All the neighbor's were afraid of and didn't like Edward anymore. It was time for the Boggs' Christmas party. Edward was out carving an ice-sculpture of an angel. Kim was dancing in the ice-shavings, they were like snow. Jim walked up and startled Edward. Edward turned suddenly, and accidentally cut Kim's hand. Edward ran and hid. All of the Boggs(besides Kim & Kevin, Kevin was at a friends house) went and looked for him. When the parents were out looking for him, Edward returned home. Kim was waiting. Kim tried to hug Edward, but Edward tried to stop her. He was afraid he would cut her. He hugs her in a way that his hands can't cut her. Then, he begins to remember his master again. "I know it's early for Christmas, but here's your present," says the inventor. He takes two hands out of a Christmas box. They were for Edward, so he wouldn't have scissors for hands. Edward accidentally sticks the scissors through the hands, and the old inventor dies. Edward tries to touch the inventor, but accidentally cuts him. Then, Kim and Edward went outside. Kevin was walking home. Jim was drunk and driving, and was going down Kim's street. Jim swerved right in front of Kevin. Edward pushed him out of the way. They both landed on the grass. When Edward tried to get up off Kevin, but every time moved, he cut Kevin. Jim came up and started beating up Edward. Edward swings his arm, and cuts Jim. Kim comes up and tells him to run. They meet again at the old castle. "Oh Edward, I'm so happy! I thought you were dead!" cried Kim. "I didn't!" yelled Jim, shooting a gun. Where'd he come from? Edward gets the gun out of his hand. The roof caves in, and almost hurts Edward. Jim kept hitting Edward in the back with a metal rod. Kim runs up and whacks him over the head with a club. It stuns him. Edward stands up, stabs his hand in Jim's stomach, and shoves him out a widow. Jim died. All the neighbors come running up to the castle. Edward solemnly says, "Good-Bye." Kim leans forward. Edward hugs her. She kisses him and says, "I love you." He began to sob. He had never felt love before. As Kim left the castle, she grabbed an extra scissor hand, and shows it to all the crowd. "They killed each other," she says. Then, the seen fades, and an old lady telling a story to a young girl. She was Kim as a very old lady telling the story to her grandchild. "How do you know all this?" asks the child. "Because I was there," replies Kim."Well, why don't you go visit him?" asks the grandchild. "I'm now an old lady. I want him to remember me as I was, not as I am now," replies the old lady. "Is he still alive?" says the little girl. "I'm not sure. We've never had snow before Edward came, but, now, we have snow every winter. Sometimes you can still catch me dancing in it," replies Kim. Then, you see Edward trimming all the plants at the castle. Then, he goes inside and starts carving ice-sculptings. It begins pouring snow from the ice shavings.
