清同治年間,西洋事物大舉傳入中國,廣州地處南方之端,成為華洋雜處之地,亦是南北漕運的起點,龍蛇混雜。
苗翠花自少喪母,因鄉下水災,與乳娘到廣州探望父親苗顯,剛到廣州,便與廣州首富方德結怨,幾次相遇,均令方德大有損失,德遂視花為災星,花亦視德為紈褲子弟,不屑相交。
苗顯為街市領袖,向與漕幫不和,漕運總督敖爾多與漕幫幫主李巴山欲得街市地皮,設計與地主方德打賭,德本穩操勝券,卻因花誤打誤撞而輸掉街市地皮,遂入敖爾多之手。
收地一事,令本是冤家的德與花衝突更深,花欲教訓德,卻被顯阻止。原來顯對德曾有救命之恩,德因顯求助,盡力奪回街市地皮,花不知就裡,仍對德全無好感。
敖爾多之子敖達,因收地未遂遷怒花,欲傷之洩憤,不料反被花所傷,變成白痴,敖爾多得悉大怒,立誓殺花報仇。花身陷險境,德竟出現相救,認花做四姨太,以自己與恭親王的交情保花性命,多雖不忿,但懾於恭親王權勢,被逼放花,但德此舉,已種下與敖爾多的仇怨。
花得悉德相救只為報顯當日救命之恩,對德的印象未好反壞,斷言絕不下嫁德,德其實無娶花之意,只視作一時權宜。不料德立妾一事,竟傳至慈禧耳中,特為德送賀禮。本來戲言一句,頓成騎虎之勢,德恐被責欺君之罪,唯有娶花入門,花亦恐連累父親,遂下嫁方德。只是兩人立下一年假鳳虛凰之約,一待事過境遷,便各走各路。
花甫入方家,便惹來酸風醋雨,原來德正室已亡,遺下一對子女美玉、孝玉。德太嫲為怕方家人丁單薄,強為德立妾,分別為大家閨秀葉秀秀及武門之後馬玉梅。再加上一直欲嫁德的小姨許柳詩,平日已為爭寵鬥得你死我活,花入門之後,自然成為眾矢之的。
方家規矩諸多,花生性跳脫,自難一一遵守,加上美玉、孝玉整蠱,花與德的衝突,可謂無日無之,笑料亦由此產生。
除方家內爭,花亦在外惹起火頭,花一次女扮男裝(苗大石)到外遊玩,剛巧遇上李巴山為女兒李小環比武招親,花見山出言不遜,遂上台比試,取勝之餘卻無意間輕薄了環。環對花念念不忘,山亦為求面子,竟發動全城漕幫幫眾,誓要揪花出來娶環,一段古代中國玻璃鞋故事,由此展開。
花女扮男裝之事為免被揭穿,德替她收買縣官,石扮被捉,判以死刑,石被斬頭。環大受刺激,當場昏倒。但終被環知石是花所扮,更間接令環被拉入瘋人院。花難詞其咎,為環到處找證據以表清白,環雖被釋放,但難清對花的心頭之恨。花自知闖禍太多,故決心要做一個好女子,她先在孝玉、美玉著手,與他們建立友誼,替德管教。
另一方面,李小環因被花戲弄一事,本來自信甚強的她,亦重新認識一直暗戀自己的雷老虎。雷老虎本是北方拳師,南下廣州討生活,生性粗魯耿直,空有一身武功,反淪落廣州,幾為討吃,對大小姐李小環掠為天人,奈何環一顆春心正投向花,只視虎為傻小子,毫不以辭色。虎對環死心塌地,在一次救山的行動中,虎犧牲自已將環鎖起,獨自去救山,虎拚死,手腳被打斷,環大受感動和內疚,決以身相許。
花與德隨相處關係變好,兩人不知不覺間漸生情愫。詩看在眼內,妒心大盛。
花、德相處甚歡之際,顯竟出現,求德拯救危在旦夕的其他起義烈士。德不惜冒抄家之險,暗助顯救人。德自知犯險,恐禍及家人,故作負心漢。扮作與詩熱戀,把花、梅、秀趕出方家,花大受打擊,對德的愛頓如冷水淋身,心痛不已。
花帶著梅、秀、美玉、孝玉淪落街頭,德卻硬著心腸不加援手。梅、秀等從未受此苦頭,自然怨言不絕,花咬緊牙關,一一承受。終得到眾人體諒,共赴難關。美玉、孝玉等亦成長過來。環重遇花,同是天涯淪落人,恩怨誤會,一笑泯之。德救烈士一事,終於外洩,烈士雖能逃脫,德卻被捕下獄,花得悉此事,方知怪錯德,於是與環救,一場惡戰,終打敗敖爾多,奪回一切。
