I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'get you into one' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'foolish capers' is the wordplay.
'foolish' indicates anagramming the letters (a foolish spelling).
'capers' is an anagram of 'SCRAPE'.

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
