Step back in time to 1967, a time when the Rolling Stones were at the height of their fame and teen culture was dominating the world.

It was December 1967, and the Rolling Stones had just finished a headlining tour in Australia and New Zealand. The band had a stopover in Marseille, France, on their way back to London, and this is where things took a turn for the worse.

The customs officials were convinced that the Stones had brought drugs with them from their previous tour. Despite finding nothing in their luggage, the officials claimed that they had grounds to search the band members' suitcases, leading to a tense confrontation.
