An elderly woman tells her granddaughter where snow comes from through the ostensibly true story of a young man named Edward with scissors for hands, the creation of an inventor. The inventor was inspired to make an artificial man due to the anthropomorphic appearance of his other inventions. He slowly but surely altered a machine into a 'real boy', but had a heart attack and died while in the act of revealing a pair of real hands to Edward, leaving him doomed to be "unfinished" forever. Many years after, local Avon saleswoman Peg Boggs, after failing to make profits in her suburban neighborhood, visits a Gothic mansion on a hill. There, she finds Edward, and convinces him to let her take him in. Edward befriends Peg's young son Kevin, her husband Bill and, after an initial misstep, their teenage daughter Kim.
