What campaign archetypes (e.g. defeat the dungeon boss, rescue the princess, heist) exist that can work in a really short campaign, ideally a one-shot?

Interested in stuff that can be used for any system, but suggestions for cool game-specific campaigns that can be generalised are also welcome.

PC can progress/change during a one-shot. It's often forgiven. You can go "20 years later..." In the middle of the game. That's great

Not really sure how this answers the question.. Am I missing something?
