Rockopolis was once a bustling underground city, but you won't find much there now -- just a slaver's note, the corpse of a ghoul named Argyle, and the Bobblehead - Unarmed doll. Herbert "Daring" Dashwood (in Tenpenny Tower) will give you a reward if you tell him what happened to Argyle.

Note: Rockopolis won't show up on the world map, but if you start in Girdershade (#19) and then head north, you'll run into it. If you have trouble finding the entrance, then get to about the right spot and check your local map.
