The Bogus Uncle was the second two-reel comedy release from the short-lived Moon film studio. Like the company's first film (No Money, No Fun), this forgettable farce concentrates on a grouchy uncle and his dimwitted nephew. When the Uncle notifies the nephew that he intends to pay a visit, the message is intercepted by a hobo, who decides to cadge a few free meals and a warm place to sleep by posing as "Unk." The misunderstanding is milked for all it is worth before the real Uncle finally shows up. Inexplicably, this undistinguished comedy series received generous press attention in the pages of Variety.
