Olmstead's report of Innsmouth would be unbelievable, but enough rumours surround that odd town that you're going undercover to find evidence of real, verifiable crimes - not this fish-men nonsense.
Description:
Considered in isolation, the account given of events in Innsmouth by young Mr. Olmstead would be utterly unbelievable - but enough rumors and incidents cluster around that isolated, unfriendly town to warrant a closer look. As Federal agents, your task is to travel to the sea-port of Innsmouth and carry out an undercover investigation. Look for evidence of bootlegging, forgery, organized crime. Real, verifiable crimes, not the nonsense about fish-men and sea-gods spouted by that unstable young chap. You're not nervous, impressionable antiquarians like him; you're sober, levelheaded G-Men. You'll find the truth in Innsmouth.

All I ask is that you see the hill, then look me in the eye and tell me whether or not I have lost whatever marbles I still possess.
