The four move checkmate, also known as the "Scholar's Mate" is a very unsound opening. Because it doesn't follow the general rule "never take your queen out too early" or you will lose too much tempo at the beginning.
The move sequence is: 1. e2e4, e7e5 2. qh5 (or qf3) nc6 3. bc4, d7d6 and finally, 4. qxf7#.
There are many different notations for this opening, but white will always be targeting f7 with a queen and a bishop in the Scholar's Mate.
