Mainland youngster TANG WAI CHEUNG (KWOK CHUN ON) looks for his future father-in-law LING SING PO (CHUN WONG) with an old Hong Kong address passed on by his late mother. Unfortunately, PO moved a long time ago. With nowhere else to stay, CHEUNG lives with his young uncle TANG KING CHAN (MA KWOK MING). CHAN bluffs to his relatives about his wealth, but in fact, he is seriously in debt. In order to pay off CHAN’s debt, CHEUNG takes any jobs that he can find, and experiences the real world. 

CHEUNG and his flatmate CHENG PIK WAN (WU, MYOLIE) encourage each other to work hard and slowly fall in love. Meanwhile, a rich man’s daughter LING FUNG (KONG CHERIE, CHERRY) dislikes the arranged marriage her parents set up for her and runs away from home. She somehow ends up settling down in the flat where CHEUNG and CHAN live. FUNG complains about everything in the flat. CHEUNG cannot stand her and fights with her all the time. On the other hand, CHAN is attracted by FUNG’s beauty. When he finds out that her father is the rich businessman PO, and CHEUNG’s future father-in-law, he pretends to be CHEUNG in order to marry FUNG. 

CHAN’s plan falls apart. CHEUNG and CHAN turn their backs to each other. The four youngsters play the circle game in the maze of love. Meanwhile, CHEUNG keeps working his way up in this scavengers’ paradise – Hong Kong.

本故事發生於五、六十年代的香港。 

鄧偉祥﹝郭晉安飾﹞奉母遺願,從內地到港投靠未來外父凌醒波﹝秦煌飾﹞。誰知找波不果,惟先找到表叔鄧鏡塵﹝馬國明飾﹞投靠。塵是個通天經紀,終日營營役役,朝不保夕。 

機緣巧合下,塵從一尋人廣告中,得知祥之未來外父竟是富商波。塵不惜借下大耳窿雷貴利,教祥訛稱有錢仔,一起往見未來外父。不料,被波妻-林蘭卿﹝盧宛茵飾﹞認定祥存心白撞,把祥、塵趕走,祥誤會被卿嫌棄家貧,自尊心受損,忿然離去。

雷上門追債,祥以事情因自己而起,決為塵還債,塵感動,於是兩老表同撈同煲,齊齊搵食。 

祥的同屋住鄭碧雲﹝胡杏兒飾﹞與弟鄭小龍﹝林泳東飾﹞相依為命。雲原於波之花露水廠打工,因廠長公報私仇,藉詞辭退雲,雲逼於無奈,只好暫時到大笪地賣粉果。 

另方面,祥之未婚妻凌鳳﹝江芷妮飾﹞因不願婚姻大事被父母安排,離家出走。奶媽黎雯娣﹝夏萍飾﹞安排鳳暫住板間房,與祥等成為同屋住。鳳對祥產生好感。而塵亦被鳳之青春美麗吸引。 

祥把信物交塵拿去典當應急還債,巧遇波,波認出信物,誤把塵認作未來女婿。卿契仔謝君綿﹝黎耀祥飾﹞獻計找其"表妹" 狄麗娜﹝黃泆潼飾﹞扮作鳳,以應付及試探塵,塵被娜美色吸引。 

雲及後在大笪地賣唱,因其鬼馬扮相及悅耳歌喉,頗受捧場客歡迎。在南洋富商陸恭﹝李成昌飾﹞介紹之下,得以轉到歌廳獻唱,誰知雲竟因而大受歡迎。祥、雲志趣相投,感情大進。 

塵得悉娜也是冒名頂替後,得知祥之未婚妻竟便是鳳,不由驚喜交雜。 

祥在片場被炒,來到波之花露水廠替塵打工。 

時波發覺花露水廠盈利驟減,波決命塵代為調查。泉得知塵之"欽差"身份,極力巴結,另方面則隱瞞自己之罪證。泉虧空公款事敗,最終被炒。 

祥得知真相,勃然大怒,塵則力言冒認祥只因對鳳一往情深。鳳得知自己之真正未婚夫竟便是祥,喜出望外。雲驚悉祥早有未婚妻,傷心欲絕。 

綿心利用娜色誘波,反令自已與娜之曖昧關係曝光,卿得知綿助波金屋藏嬌,一怒之下,把綿趕走。 

綿、泉懷恨在心,使計搶去波的花露水公司。祥、塵幫手救亡,靈機一觸,二人反串以"馬姐"形象成為花露水特別商標,風靡了香港萬千馬姐,令得波之花露水銷路激增。 

雲因愛祥不欲他選擇,甘心退出,假意與一直追求自己之南洋富商相好,令祥死心。 

雲助祥解救了花露水廠危機,以祥與鳳婚禮在即,決抽身離去,謊稱對演藝事業意興闌珊,決追隨恭嫁到南洋去,祥雖大受打擊。 

祥在新婚之夜,向鳳承諾,此後定會盡心盡力愛鳳。鳳心知祥、雲實是真心相愛,明白到愛不是佔有,於是講出真相,祥得以及時趕到碼頭追回雲,有情人終成眷屬。
