The Blackburne Shilling Jerome Gambit.

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Ke6 6.Qh5 

This is a 1-minute game, and White goes for the jugular.

With much more time on the clock, he could afford the recommended, slower 6.c3. 

6...Nf6 7.Qf7+ Kxe5 8.f4+ Kxe4 9.Nc3+ Kxf4 

Black avails himself a bit too much of White's generosity.

Still, if you can't see the danger, you might as well grab the material - and with 60 seconds for the whole game, you can't see all the danger.

10.O-O+ Ke5 11.d3 

Planning on more development, leading to the win of the enemy Queen.
