The Arkham Detective is assigned the case of a woman who has been brutally murdered, her seven-year-old child abducted by the killer. His investigations into the whereabouts of the young daughter lead him to the degenerate fishing town of Innsmouth, where he uncovers a plot by the Deep Ones to raise a powerful creature from beneath the waves (variously described as being a Shoggoth, Father Dagon, and even Cthulhu himself). 
A series of events lead the Detective into contact with members of the Office of Strategic Services and United States Navy, who have also learned of the Deep Ones' scheme, and plan to destroy the town using the heavy guns of a warship anchored just beyond Devil's Reef. He manages to evacuate the handful of humans left in the town and rescue the girl, who he later adopts, her companionship going some distance to filling the hole left when his wife left him with their son some years previously.
