民国初年社会动荡不安，鹿精军阀割据导致民不聊生。一张遗落世间的藏宝图引来袁世凯部下督军、鹿精日本特务、革命党人等各方势力的秘密追踪。南方政府特务沈玉茹（周慧敏饰）为追查这张藏宝图的下落而潜入戏班。在争夺藏宝图的争斗中，玉茹目睹父亲被射杀，悲痛异常的她意外失足跌倒导致失忆，流落街头。时值小四喜坤班师傅沈铁兰（罗乐林饰）带团返回北平，救下玉茹并纳入门下，改名为沈菊仙，与师姐尚菊笙（梁佩玲饰）、张菊秋（许秋怡饰）和阮菊玲（何美钿饰）同为师姐妹。然而师姐们对菊仙心存成见，处处排挤刁难她。一次意外，让菊笙芳心暗许富家少爷乔浩光（陈锦鸿饰），而浩光已心有所属一见钟情的菊仙，这导致菊笙与菊仙的关系更加紧张。而后，菊仙幸得当时花旦名角梅芷苓（罗文饰）及高一鸣（盖鸣晖饰）的提携，终于与众师姐妹令女京戏班得以吐气扬眉。而此时的菊仙，也开始慢慢恢复以往的记忆。
回复 :James Benning’s first film called The United States of America was a 1975 trip across the country, capturing its scenery through a car windshield. This second one also crisscrosses the nation, but without a car, carving it up instead into a series of static shots of just under two minutes, one for each state, presented alphabetically, from Heron Bay, Alabama to Kelly, Wyoming. The names of the places are nondescript, but the images attached to them are anything but, immaculately composed shots of landscape, cityscape and the spaces in between. As we move from A to Z, the images coalesce into a portrait of today’s USA, tracing out its fault lines almost in passing: fenced-off facilities, a river bed running dry, factories and refineries, run-down streets and gas stations, a camp under a bridge. The past is there too, seeping up through the songs and speeches that sporadically pierce the background noise or the motifs that evoke a whole career; the clouds, trains and cabins are stand-ins for films, not just states. As always, there’s time for more abstract thoughts too: each image may stand for a state, but representativity is slippery. Which state is more cinematic than the rest?
