香港服装设计师尤亨利在内地报刊上征婚，内地女青年姜玲应征，相约在某市公园手持玫瑰花见面。 香港黑社会成员豪志雄以澳洲劳务输出咨询公司总经理身份为掩护，用欺骗手段诱骗内地女青年偷渡海外，以此非法牟利。豪志雄指使副总经理阿坤为一心向往海外发展的女青年吴凤提供劳务输出的机会。由于阿坤遇车祸住进医院，遂相约吴凤在某公园手持玫瑰花与豪志雄直接见面，一起去蝴蝶岛偷渡点。 然而，阴错阳差，尤亨利错把吴凤当成征婚的女青年，豪志雄也错把姜玲当成是要偷渡的女郎 ，当他索要3000美元定金时，姜玲感到受骗，愤然离去，豪志雄意识到认错了人，真正要约的不是姜玲而是吴凤。 尤亨利对吴凤一见钟情，吴凤急着要去蝴蝶岛，尤亨利以为吴凤要去旅游，欣然陪同前往， 但察觉豪志雄屡次想和吴凤接触，以为遇到情敌，一方面加紧向吴凤发动爱情攻势，另一方面又与豪志雄展开争夺女朋友的“斗争”。姜玲也醒悟过来，发现尤亨利是自己真正相约的对象。于是追踪尤亨利并千方百计阻挠尤亨利和吴凤的接触。 豪志雄的犯罪活动，早为公安部门密切监视和跟踪，侦察员五号化妆成旅游者一路明察暗访；副总经理阿坤，也是公安局在劳务输出公司的卧底，掌握着豪志雄大量的犯罪证据。根据公安部门的计划，拟在台湾蛇头来内地海域接应时，予以一网打尽。一场偷渡与反偷渡的斗争激 烈展开。 由于阿坤在侦察行动中的失误，暴露了身份，引起豪志雄的惊恐，提前实施偷渡计划，阿坤和旅游者随机应变，紧紧咬住狡猾的豪志雄。吴凤、尤亨利、姜玲和众女青年也洞悉豪志雄诱骗 偷渡的狰狞面目，积极配合阿坤和旅游者的行动，经过一翻激烈的交战，豪志雄一伙终于在强大的人民武装力量的威慑下，一场偷渡美梦，彻底破灭。 尤亨利和吴凤在这场患难与共中，萌发了真正的爱情火花。
