这是一个摘自中国古典小说的故事。但剧中的故事与原著小说完全不同。这是一个传统的戏剧，但可能有不同的咏叹调，不同的表演风格。
从前，在峨眉山，有白蛇和黑蛇。白蛇变成了一个非常美丽的女孩，名叫白素贞(青衣饰)。黑蛇也变成了一个可爱的侍女，名叫小青(吴丹饰)。他们来到杭州西湖游玩。他们被美丽的景色所吸引。从桥上走下来一个叫许仙的年轻人。BAI立刻陷入了单恋。为了帮助妹妹，小青耍了个花招，让天下雨，他们找了棵树避雨。许仙打开伞走了过去。当他看到他们时，他把伞递给他们，问他们住在哪里。 On a quick action, Xiao Qing told him they lived somewhere near WestLake. A boat was then in sight. XU Xian called, paid the boatman and asked him to ship the two ladies to their destination and himself home. He lived with his sister's family. On the boat, they talked a little. BAI Su-Zheng began to know XU Xian a little more. The rain gradually stopped. When the boat made its first stop, Xiao Qing made it rained again. So XU Xian told them to keep the umbrella and he would take it back next day. Xiao Qing told XU that nearby there was a red mansion, which was their home.
第二天，白姨用她的魔法造了一座红楼。许按照约定去了那里。萧青叫他坐下，给他和白沏了茶。他们交换了几句话。小青问许是否结婚了。收到否定的答复后，小青告诉他BAI也没有结婚，并建议两人结婚。当三人参加的婚礼进行时，遥远的金山寺住持法海感觉到一些东西，然后发现了发生的事情。他发誓要抓住那条白蛇。
婚后，他们三人搬到了镇江，一个位于长江边上的城市，BAI在那里为她的丈夫开了一家药店。她用她的魔力使所有的药都变得特别有效，生意也因此兴旺起来。法海在那里找到了许仙，警告他说他的妻子是一条蛇。他建议徐找到一个真正的自我，在9月9日那天喝一杯节日酒。9月9日对这两条蛇来说至关重要。总有那么一刻，他们必须变回真实的自己。小青向BAI建议，两人一起回峨眉山过一天。BAI不想让徐感到任何异常。她相信她的魔力可以阻止她的变化，并告诉小青一个人去。许仙买了节日酒庆祝，请BAI和他一起喝酒。 Did not want to disappoint her husband and thought she still could control herself, she agreed and finished a cup. But XU asked her a second cup. The second cup made her feel awful. She rushed to the bedroom and warned XU did not get in. Xu Xian saw her in her old form in the bed, and simply just died of fright. When Xiao Qing came back, she waked BAI up. Then risking her life, White Snake went to steal the glossy ganoderma, which was heavily guarded. Moved by her brave and true love, the owner of the drug released her and gave her the drug.
许仙的生活得以恢复。他突然想起方丈对他说过的话。病好了，许仙去了庙里。为了让他和妻子分开，法海强迫他出家。白和小青追到金山寺，求法海放了她的丈夫，却被拒绝了。愤怒之下，她召集了一大群水下生物攻击寺院，用水淹没了寺庙。法海有一件神奇的外衣，可以使山生长，使水位保持在寺庙下面。法海还有指挥天兵的魔力。BAI已经怀孕了。她再也打不下去了。
白和小青逃到西湖，在那里他们第一次见到许仙。小青对徐的不忠非常生气，一见到他就发誓要杀了他。当双方交战时，许被一个年轻的和尚秘密释放，碰巧来到了同一个地方。当他们遇到他时，萧青正准备用剑攻击他，但白阻止了她，并告诉了徐的真相。在彼此完全理解之后，他们回家了。
法海来到天庭，请求天帝帮助他。一个手持神灯的强大战士奉命协助法海。BAI生了一个儿子。一天，许仙去给儿子买一顶帽子。这顶帽子实际上是灯笼，它使白素正的身体受到了战士的魔咒。白蛇被囚禁在西湖边的雷峰塔下。黑蛇逃到她原来的地方，练习她的魔法。几年后，她的魔法强大到足以复仇。她设法摧毁了宝塔，救出了白蛇。白蛇与她的丈夫和儿子团聚。 Black Snake then defeated Fa Hai and had him swallowed by a crab. They live together happily forever.
