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

'naughty capers' is the wordplay.
'naughty' is an anagram indicator.
'capers' with letters rearranged gives 'SCRAPE'.

'can' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
