High up on a hill is the castle where the Inventor lives. After years of tinkering with various machines and weird contraptions, he finally creates Edward, but the Inventor dies before he can complete Edward’s hands. Edward, ever resourceful, uses metal scissors for his own unique hands. Always an outsider, a lady named Peg brings Edward into her home, where he is warmly welcomed by the neighbors—until he starts messing with their shrubbery.
