1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Bc5 3.Bxf7+
The so-called Abrahams Jerome Gambit.
3...Kxf7 4.Nf3 Bxf2+
Returning the sacrificed piece in this way is more of a psychological move than anything else. It is not counted among the refutations of the opening.

Move, move, move. Kings are safe. Great. Move, move, move.

Oops.
16.d6+ Kh8 17.dxc7 Nb6 18.Nf7+ Kg8 19.Ng5+

19...Kh8 20.Nf7+ Kg8 21.Nh6+ Kh8 22.Qg8+ Rxg8 23.Nf7 checkmate
There we go.
