While many important-item stories are about finding or recovering a MacGuffin, this trope is about when the MacGuffin is in The Protagonists' hands early. The rest of the story involves getting it from one place to another. Compare Live-Action Escort Mission. Not to be confused with MacGuffin Delivery Service, where the villain uses the hero to obtain the item. Contrast Keep Away. If the MacGuffin is a fake, compare Decoy Convoy. Sub-Trope of Product Delivery Ordeal. Examples |

The episode "The Duchess and the Devil" in the Horatio Hornblower telefilms has Horatio entrusted with top-secret dispatches to be delivered to the Admiralty. When his prize vessel is captured by the Spanish, his passenger the Duchess persuades him to give her the dispatches, as she won't be searched. Although she's sent on to England, she reappears on a shipwreck, still not having delivered the dispatches. It's never stated what is in them, only that they are vital and that Pellew was forced to scour "half the Atlantic" looking for them. Although it's unclear if Horatio's imprisonment was the full two years as it was in the book, it still took quite a while for them to get back into British hands. | |
