The titular hero (Creator/JohnnyDepp) is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, a sort of android. His creator, a lonely inventor (Creator/VincentPrice, in what was his final film appearance), upgraded a robot from his assembly-line machinery in his gothic mansion on a hill until it finally ''almost'' completely resembled a young man - however, he died just before completing his project by giving Edward hands. Thus, he was left alone with the scissor-and-shear limbs he already had. Edward shyly, quietly keeps to himself, passing the time by tending the garden (in particular, sculpting the bushes into whimsical images) until one day...an Avon lady comes calling. Peg Boggs is a resident of the 1970s pastel {{suburbia}} that lies at the bottom of the hill. Realizing he is friendly and mostly harmless, as he understands the dangers his blades pose, she compassionately decides to take him to live with her family.

* BlackAndWhiteMorality: Edward is a genuinely kind person whose biggest flaws are mild social awkwardness and naivety. Kim and her family are slightly hesitant to take in Edward but take him in quickly. Jim starts as a smug jerk and eventually descends into homicidal madness, while the rest of the town aside from Kim's family start off taking advantage of Edward's skills and are riled into an angry mob at the first opportunity.
