Love in Sampan is the tale of an unfortunate young woman named Kiu. As she explains in the opening narration, she has known three men: Wah (a boy who worked in her family's shop), Chuen Wang (a local gang boss whom she is compelled to marry) and Man (a university student). But when she accidentally witnesses her best friend, Kim, fooling around with a man, Kiu's sexual curiosity is truly aroused ... and begins to grow.

Kiu and three men. Kiu is a fisherman's daughter in a village. Her father is aging, so they hire Wah at their small store. He's new to the village. Next to the store is a restaurant owned by Chuen Wong, probably a small-time thug and boss, always smiling, joking, and pestering Kiu. A friend stays with him in the village while doing research: he's Man, a university student. One day, as yet unmarried and innocent, Kiu sees her friend Kim making love on a boat to a boyfriend. Kiu and these three men - Wah, Wong, and Man - plus Kim and her boyfriend create a storm of passion, violence, jealousy, and fateful consequences around sex, social status, and gender roles.
