No need for the mcguffin to be an easy to manage item...
Howzabout a Princess..."When you came in didn't you have a plan to get out" "Will someone get this walking carpet out of my way" "You came in that thing, you're braver than I thought"..."No reward is worth this."

So if the princess is a handful...they might rescue her...but she might not exactly be grateful...she might even claim that there was a lack of proper respect and defernece shown...or even physical liberties were taken...Thus the would be heros are in jail because of the false allegations of a spiteful child (even if the calender would indicate she should be an adult). Can also be done with a Prince...if you are a fan of Sir Lancelot and the wedding at Swamp Castle....
