Spider-Man swings down and catches a group organizing a bank robbery and upon dropping in unexpectedly, a man escapes and contacts Kraven the Hunter.
He received a very enthusiastic letter of approval providing the film was limited to a non-commercial exhibition (because of commercial licensing commitments Marvel Comics had at the time).

On March 30, 2008, author Clive Young, renowned for his book Homemade Hollywood: Fans Behind the Camera, sat down with the filmmaker Bruce to discuss the fan-made production Spider-Man Versus Kraven the Hunter.

Unlike many other fan productions, there is no record of it having surfaced as a bootleg at comic book conventions or online, and no one besides its creator has ever been confirmed have a personal copy.
The realistic suit for Spider-Man was acclaimed and the casting of Andrew Pastario as J Jonah Jameson and Joe Ellison as Peter Parker received praise for their likeness to the characters.
