When we last saw Phil in Shy Guy (1947), he was struggling to overcome his loneliness and social awkwardness — a task he ultimately accomplishes by following the sage advice of his father. At some point between 1947 and 1952, Phil somehow managed to acquire a younger brother, Ray, who also has a thing or two to learn about friendship. Now Phil — who has gone from friendless geek to Mister Popularity — is in a position to give little brother Ray the benefit of his superior wisdom.
